Has this ever happened to you? You're practicing guitar, but you still can't remember the chords, and your grasp of music theory isn't quite solid. Looking up information is a hassle, forcing you to switch back and forth between multiple pages-one for the song you're playing, another for the chord fingerings, all while trying to count frets. Where do you put your hands? Which fret? Which string do you press? And what is your other hand supposed to be doing?

Let's get to know the Kazuki Education Series Primary 36 guitar better and see what features it has for us to play with and discover.
Overall, the Kazuki Education Series Primary 36 is a 6-string acoustic guitar with a Telecaster-style headstock featuring six silver tuning pegs lined up on one side, making it convenient to tune in one direction and giving it a cool, smart look. The guitar neck isn't too long, has a smooth feel, and isn't too thin. The fingerboard is relatively short, and the low string height (Action) makes it easy to play and form chords comfortably. However, it can still be adjusted if the player wants to use techniques like string bending that require higher action. The body is small, easy to hold, and lightweight, yet produces a clear, loud sound. This model is available in two colors: natural and black. The body's binding is a black-and-white edge, adding a beautiful dimension. It also has pins for attaching a guitar strap. The guitar's specs are as follows:

Dot Number Fret
Starting with the side of the neck, we have what's called the “Dot Number Fret.” In the past, we've seen guitars use dots to mark fret positions. The Kazuki Education Series Primary 36 makes it even easier by clearly marking the fret positions with large, easy-to-see numbers: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15. This means players don't have to count the dots from the first fret every time. Once you know which fret to play, you can place your hand on the desired fret quickly and accurately, significantly reducing the time it takes to change frets and making your playing much smoother.
Next to the “Dot Number Fret,” on the front of the neck, the open string notes (E, A, D, G, B, E) for all six strings are inlaid at the very top. Further down, you'll notice the C Major scale inlaid within the fingerboard, showing the notes c, d, e, f, g, a, b, c—a scale with no sharps or flats (C Major and A Minor Scale). This is laid out across different sections of the fingerboard to increase playing accuracy, with a primary focus on the note C at various fret positions.
Beginner Guitar Chords
Moving down to the body, you'll find the “Beginner Guitar Chords.” On the side of the Kazuki Education Series Primary 36's body, this wooden strip will make you forget about searching for chords online or flipping through books to find basic fingerings. Just look down to see 13 basic chords: C, C7, D, Dm, D7, Em, E, E7, F, G, A, Am, and A7. And that's not all. If you look closely, the chords provided are shortcuts, simplified for easier playing. Next to the chords, there's also a MAJOR Scale chart that translates notes from the Sol-fa system to the letter system (e.g., C = Do, D = Re). This is truly the secret formula every beginner dreams of, now featured on this guitar.
The Periodic Table of Music
The final highlight is on the Rosette, the circle around the sound hole on the front of the guitar, which perfectly frames the “Circle of Fifths,” often called the “Periodic Table of Music” (using diatonic counting).
This shows the relationship between keys, spaced at equal intervals of a fifth. Starting from C major and A minor, moving clockwise to the right represents the sharp keys, and moving counter-clockwise to the left represents the flat keys. The outer circle shows the Major keys and the inner circle shows the Minor keys, covering all 12 keys in both Major and Minor.
Who is the Kazuki Education Series Primary 36 for?
Right-handed beginners, both children and adults learning guitar, and people who want to teach themselves. The small neck is easy to grip. Additionally, the Kazuki Education Series Primary 36 is a great guitar for music teachers to use with their students, providing a convenient visual aid for instruction. It's also an excellent travel guitar to take on trips, thanks to its compact 36-inch length, which is smaller than a standard guitar, making it easy to carry around. It's versatile enough for various styles, whether it's Picking, Strumming, or Unison Bending—you can play it all.
