| Ironically, it's not for kids |
I have been reading the reviews of kids smashing these guitars -- which is of course amusing.
DO NOT buy any guitar for little kids unless you are going to spend time with them. Teach them to not treat it as a toy. Don't just hand it over to them -- of course they will use it as a blunt instrument. OF COURSE the strings will be off the guitar in an hour!
The secret of this guitar is that it is actually better for adults who want a cheap travel guitar for camping trips, etc. It is inexpensive, not terrible to play and compact. Do not buy this as your first guitar. Get a Yamaha Nylon String acoustic. They are easy to play and won't tear your fingers up -- so you will play more. This guitar is better for those that have played for a bit, and want something inexpensive to carry along.

| I should have known better |
The low price should have tipped me off. I purchased this for my 14 year old son, who needs a guitar for lessons at school. He has to leave the instrument in the class, so I wanted one that would not represent a big loss if stolen. Unfortunately, this is not a full size guitar, but closer to half size, which is very small for 14 year old fingers. This is best described as a toy, given the sound and quality of construction.
The product description is misleading. If I had read more of the customer reviews, I would have been warned. I returned the instrument, but was not refunded the cost of shipping, which was more than the guitar itself. If this is intended for anyone over age 6, or anyone who wants a serious start in guitar, do not waste your money on this inferior instrument. |
