The Lindo Swallow Electro-Acoustic Guitar – Designed in Bristol, U.K, by Lindo Guitars
As well as developing the spiritual ideas surrounding this guitar, one of the main goals in creating the Lindo Swallow was to produce it with the ‘perfect purple’ colour. To compliments this, the graphic art finish of the body and matched headstock is as eye-catching as it is unique. The ‘dreamcatcher’ inlay at the 12th fret completes the design perfectly.
Tonewoods
As an acoustic guitar, it is important for the tone to be warm and resonant and the Lindo Swallow does not disappoint for such a modestly priced instrument. The bridge and fingerboard are solid black walnut which has a beautiful grain as well as providing incredible tone. The top/soundboard is spruce, which combined with the linden wood sides and back produces solid bass notes from the body as well as crisp highs across the catalpa neck.
Features and Benefits
A bone nut and compensated bone saddle ensure the intonation is accurate across the breadth of the fretboard. Bone is also an excellent material for providing a high-quality, natural string tone. The dreadnought cutaway body projects very well and also offers easy access to those higher frets. This is an excellent choice for a range of techniques and styles. The chrome, smooth-action machine heads are die-cast and provide stable string tuning which you can check at the press of a button via the on-board F-4T preamplifier backlit LCD.
Another benefit of the preamp is the dual ¼” jack and balanced XLR outputs which allow for connection to a guitar amplifier, mixing desk or audio interface – so play live or record music at home. There are EQ controls for the bass, middle, treble, presence and a master volume, as well as an auto tuner mode. The LEDs illuminate when a note is sharp or flat, so it’s very clear and easy to use in all lighting conditions.
Suitable for all levels of player, the Lindo Swallow is the ideal guitar for learning, gigging or just going to a friend’s to jam.

Very good value for the price, prompt delivery, tuned the guitar with the on board tuner, I have not yet to plug the guitar into an amplifier. Great Value for any guitar enthusiast, well pleased.

I bought this guitar as a gift for my daughter for her 16th birthday as a special keepsake to remember her Nan who had recently passed away. The guitar is absolutely beautiful, it sounds amazing and both myself and my daughter are thrilled with it. The finish is absolutely stunning and we have since also bought a new amplifier which is compact and lightweight. I would highly recommend Lindo guitars, they have some amazing designs and I am genuinely thinking about buying myself one and learning to play with my daughter.

I wasn`t looking for a new guitar but a picture of this one popped up and I was impressed by how good it looked. Even if it was a rubbish guitar it would look good on the wall! Luckily it is an excellent guitar, it has a good tone, the action is reasonable, although I like mine a little lower. The on board tuner is a great addition, so convenient. I haven`t played it through an amp yet so can`t comment on the graphic, but I`m sure it won`t disappoint.
The finish is very high quality, and it feels substantial without being cumbersome. For the price it represents great value.
I had read reviews that were all positive however this model does NOT come with scratch guards, the reviews that stated it did are for a similar guitar from Lindo.

This guitar is brilliant. The way the sound comes out is amazing as it has deep rich lower notes and lovely bouncy high notes. The tuner that is inbuilt is also amazing, as it showed with bright led lights whether the note is sharp or flat. Also to my surprise it makes a great electric guitar. Overall it is perfect for the price:-)

Good product, my son loves the colour and sound, great that it has a built in tuner and comes with a battery too! delivery was prompt and customer service was very good.

The guitar is perfect for beginners. Easy to learn and decent quality. Very happy about the product. I do not know the exact value of the guitar, as I had received it as a gift, but does seem like a good deal. Certainly you would get something different in terms of design, compared to other brands. Very happy about the product. Would recommend to any guitar enthusiast who is about to embark on the journey of learning the trade 🙂

This Electro-Accoustic Purple Guitar is so beautifully made and comes with a choice of two scratch plates, one with a swallow logo and the other
a curved wave effect. The box it was delivered in was so very clearly marked Fragile across 4 or 5 sticky bands and the result was a completely
un-damaged guitar. The scratch plates are self adhesive so no need for screws to hold them down.

Love this guitar, bought as a beginner guitar and can see myself using it for a long time. Great sound, easy to tune and play. Can’t put it down!
Katie Phelps

The QBB
Cracking guitar, gorgous colour and fantastic sound, would definately recommend to others!! Also arrived earlier than stated as well, brilliant service.
Henry Wood
Have played electrics for years and now decided to buy my first acoustic. Great choice to get a Lindo as it sounds awesome and looks good too. Only criticisms are the action was too high for my taste and there was only 1 strap hook on it. Both of which I have easily sorted but straight out the box a great guitar
R Ramage
I was not sure when I found this guitar, I thought it was to good to be true, so when it was delivered I tuned it and decided to record a song, wow it’s such a sweet sound the action is easy and the price is excellent. I already had a very old fender acoustic showing its age the Lindo is a great replacement, l would recommend this guitar to anyone who needs a very reasonably priced guitar you won’t be disappointed.

This guitar is huge! nothing wrong with it other than that, seems well made, it has an onboard tuner powered by a 9v square battery. I’m struggling to use it atm due to the size but expect I’ll get used to it. It comes with an Allen key & a spare scratch pad and a case. I love purple.
Amazon UK
Bought this guitar for our daughter’s 10th birthday and whilst looking a bit big initially (as she is average height for her age), she is able to play it fine and her teacher says it is the right size. Great quality and my daughter loves the purple colour!
Mr. D. Mcdonald
Having brought the Guitar as a complete beginner to use alongside Rocksmith on the Xbox, even I have found it easy from never having picked up a guitar in my life to sit down and firstly tune it correctly and to get into the first few lessons on Rocksmith.
The Guitar feels comfortable to hold, and has a good build quality.
The Carry case which comes with the Guitar seems sturdy and good quality, the packaging was very protective during shipping and delivery was nice and quick.
Looking forward to getting to grips with learning to play.
Doug
Bought for daughter and she’s over the moon with it 🙂
Ron
Bought this for my 16 year old Daughter and she is very delighted with it, The colour is good and the size is just right for her also sounds a lot better than her previous one so highly recommend for a starter or more advanced player.
Mr KN Schofield
Guitar arrived on date promised, in good condition. Very pleased with it, built in tuner a plus and lovely looking instrument.
Shaggy Dog
I bought it to learn on so cannot make any particularly relevant observations on tone etc. Seems very good value for money. Knocked a star off for coming with not even the simplest of manuals although I note there is one on-line. It’s very purple but I haven’t developed a haze yet.
Annelee
This is a beautiful Electro-Acoustic guitar. Ordered it on the 27th December 2014 and received it yesterday. Was kept up to date with my delivery date and it was well packaged. The photo doesn’t justify how beautiful the guitar is and how vivid the purple is. The digital tuner is a dream didn’t take me long to tune the guitar and the quality of the sound is amazing. Worth every penny. Would highly recommend Lindo Guitars to anyone.
Darren Jones
Delivery was fast and it was not damaged in the packing or delivery process. Everything was included you can literally open the box and tune it and go with out any fuss. Very good product.
Mr K Stanley
I received this guitar around an hour ago, ordered on christmas eve and delivered on the 27th. No damage to the box or any of the items inside.
You get the guitar itself, a standard acoustic carry bag with “Lindo” on the front, which seems of good quality. You have a set of strings (on the guitar) and a 9v battery (which you need to unwrap) already inside the battery compartment on the guitar.
The scratch plate on the guitar itself is the swallow design shown in the pictures, and you also get a spare scratch plate with the feather design in the box.
After quickly tuning the guitar (maybe 1 minute?) with the on board tuner, which seems accurate and is easy to use and read, I started playing.
In all fairness I was quite surprised with the quality of the sound, I didn’t expect anything like this at all – It’s brilliant! – I have yet to plug the guitar into my amp, but I can only imagine it will sound superb.
This is by far the best Electro-Acoustic guitar I’ve ever owned. Thank you Lindo, and of course, Amazon!
Claire Taylor
My boyfriend bought me this guitar for Christmas and I absolutely love it. It’s just perfect and I can’t wait to learn how to play properly!♥♥♥
W Whelton
Lovely guitar, nice sound for someone on a budget. Very nice finish in dark purple. Built in tuner works well, and comes with a battery! (normal 9v square battery). The action is nice to play with as a starter, and the whole guitar feels nice in hand.
Alina
love the guitar…i didn’t have to wait long to get it delivered.i didn’t expect it to be this light.i recommend it dearly!
Tinashe Bayayi
I am a beginner so I was not sure what to expect from ordering my 1st guitar however after having an experienced guitar player tune the guitar it sounds as great as it looks. Excellent for beginners and a good option for a second guitar that is a handy size to travel with for the more experienced players.
Leanne
Very pretty looking guitar, haven’t played it yet as having it for Christmas but hugely pleased and the staff contacted me before it arrived to let me know they were there if I needed any help. Very pleased.
Mrs K L Knight
Bought as a birthday gift, our daughter was very happy with the guitar, and the additional items included.

Chris
My sister ordered this for me at Christmas the delivery was super fast and the guitar was well packaged, it came in a sturdy box hard to open that’s how well it was packaged. Inside the guitar was wrapped in dust prof material. The guitar itself looks much better in real life the color is so vibrant and the detail part on it is a really nice touch. The guitar is not just for beginners it for people who enjoy great quality sound! I love it so much I’ve not been able to stop playing it! Everyone I know has commented on it as it is so eye catching !! Thank you much for providing such a great and reliable service!! I would definitely recommend to other people !!! One more thing when I found out the price I couldn’t believe it! It’s a good price to pay for such good quality

I love my guitar and have struggled to put it down since I got it. I love it, it’s perfect just what I wanted
