TL;DR: Through Jan. 7, you can get the Poputar T2 Acoustic Classical Guitar for only $279.99 instead of $429.99 and learn to play with the interactive, light-up fretboard, and extensive music library. That's a savings of 34%.


If learning to strum the six strings is on your list of New Year’s resolutions, you’re in for a rewarding treat — and a challenge. Even the greats like Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen didn’t become pros overnight, but they also didn’t have this smart guitar with LED lights as a playing guide. Or this limited-time offer through January 7 to get one for $279.99 (reg. $429.99).

Smart learning with an app and LED fretboard

Successfully funded on Indiegogo, the Poputar is revolutionizing the way prospective guitar players learn. Unlike traditional lessons or by-the-book methods, the Poputar pairs with a free iOS or Android app to illuminate 96 LED lights on the fretboard. Here, you’ll discover video tutorials and an extensive library of music to play along to.

On your device, you’ll see a moving music score that helps you figure out which notes to play and their timing. At the same time, the guitar’s LED lights illuminate the correct string and fret to hold down. Having this interactive combination might get you playing the songs you love faster than picking up a plain old six-string.

Poputar: Anything but an ordinary guitar

Play the Poputar for up to ten hours on a single charge with strong battery life that allows for intense practice sessions and weekend-long jams. While the Poputar isn’t a regular acoustic guitar, it can act as one if you simply turn it off. Once you feel confident playing your favorite songs alongside the app, you may want to focus on memorizing them so you can show off to friends and family, or jam with your new band.
