It's alright

Smaller than one would've expected. Resembles a toy, but still is a guitar. Exactly what you got for $30. Good for children to play with and maybe practice to get really interested in the subject. It's alright for it's price, but if you want a real guitar, get something more expensive

super

pour un enfant ou même pour un débutant pour le voyager aussi et surtout son petit prix

Excellent value for a beginners instrument

This is simply a great guitar that plays easily and sounds just fine for what it is. I compared this directly to guitars 2 and 3 X the price with much lower playability. Even the supplied strings are high quality so no need to change those immediately. Most importantly, this guitar will not put off any fledgling young guitarists as it is easy to play and produce a good sound with minimal effort.

Ok for the price

It takes long for the strings to settle.. hard to tune.. better try other strings..

Good guitar for young kids

Perfect size for 6-7 year old, built quality is good.

A good starting guitar for kids.

cheap enough to be used as a toy guitar replacing plastic or cheap kids toys.

Perfect for the case

My spouse bought one as a present for her cousin, we liked it and bought another for another cousin. Yes.

Perfect and easy to play for them. Sounds great for the price, tunable, looks, smells and feels great. It is a good starting guitar I think for many purposes, but sure for small handed teens. :)

frets not finished off to a ok standerd

Good for the job

I purchased this for my son to learn guitar at school. It's no signature model, but it's perfect for the job as I didn't want to spend a fortune on something that /could/ be a flash in the pan, but at the same time you don't want to risk putting a child off with a poor quality instrument.

This guitar has a reasonable tone, doesn't go out of tune every time you breathe and is a good size for a 7/8 year old. Of course... if it could make him a rock god without any practice he'd like it a lot more...

Perfect guitar for a kid to start playing

Bought this guitar for my 7 years old son.

And he likes is so much - fretboard size is just perfect for his fingers.

Fretboard itself is pretty simplistic, tuning is also can be bit tricky at the beginning, but replacing string with better ones solves the problem.

In general its a good guitar for kid for the price

Perfectly adequate beginner guitar for kids

I'm delighted with this guitar really. Was bought for my daugher who wanted to start lessons. It's nothing fancy but sounds OK and a great low cost option if you are not sure if your child is going to want to continue after a few lessons.

Only negative is that 2 of the strings (G and B) don't hold their tune so well. I'm sure it's an easy fix though. The other strings hold tune nicely.

Good choice for young guitar players :)

I use this guitar for my students. Perfect price, OK sound, quallity, tuning, look. Very affordable instrument for those who dont know if they will continue with guitar. My best recommendation!

Great starter guitar

Bought this for my seven year old daughter in the hope it would generate some interest. Was slightly concerned that at this price it might be more on the toy side of quality. In short it is not. Some minuscule blemishes on the finish aside it is a great bit of starter kit. Sounds good, pretty solid and if she sticks with the guitar when she gets an upgrade next year I reckon it will be good enough condition to pass on to her siblings.

value for money? YES!

I bought this guitar for my children to explore and learn (they are 5 and 8 years old and the 1/2 size seems to suit them both well). I was very pleasantly surprised at the lovely tone that this budget guitar has. Delivered in perfect condition too.

This instrument exceeded my expectations by miles!

Great considering the price

It is a 35 bucks 1/2 guitar and when I ordered it I was somewhat affraid of what I will actually get as it was a gift. And I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and looks of the guitar.

Ok, it looks really good. The first glance at the guitar did not reveal anything that would show its low price.

I was also affraid that the fretboard and frets will be sharper, but they are not. My girlfriend (150cm) to whom I have bought it has been playing it regularly and has no problems with scratches and all these annoying things some cheap guitars cause.

The sound is fine. Took it to a friend who is a long-term guitar player and he did find only a few things which could e really improved (e.g. the neck is not completely narrow, it was just slightly bend).

The only problem with in terms of function is with the tuning machines - they cannot keep the tune well and the guitar has to be re-tuned every 2-3 days. Maybe different strings would help but as it is the review of the product delivered, I should talk about the product which came in the box without any changes.

In terms easthetics I also have only one problem. The insides of the guitar really smell of glue. I would say that they REEK of glue. You cannot really smell if you just hold the guitar, but when you inspect closely you can really notice it.

Overall it is a great product for the value. You cannot get anything of this quality cheaper or even close to the price. If you are just a beginner or getting it for a beginner than I would not stop you from buying this one. At this price you can always upgrade without any remorse and use this just as a back-up guitar or a travel guitar.

This guitar was bought for my six year old son as a birthday present. It is good product and good quality to price ratio. The dimensions of the instrument are appropriate for the child in those years. Only slight basic setup needed.

Stedent Guitar, great for starters

The guitar arrived quickly. Nothing wrong with it at all. I got it for the Mother of one of our prospective students. Out of the box there was nothing to do except tune it. Intonation is fine, action is fine and the sound is fine. For a starter guitar just great. When our pupil grows I suspect his next guitar will be the 3/4 size!

nice

for the price it wasn't too bad. i got it for my little bro to try see if hes interested in playing guitar without investing lots of money. it sounds okay but its alright for children to learn basic chords on

Perfect for a 7 year old girl

Cheap price for a fair quality (let prove the durability). Sound is good for a small guitar and it is playable for a kid. String 5 and 6 are more difficult.

Bought this guitar for my 6 year old girl. Love it! Sound good and the teacher is now putting this guitar as a buy option for future students.

a little baby

i bought this little guitar as a starter for a kid .

i offcourse had to test it out myself.

and it sounded okay for such a small guitar.

the guitar has good action and the small fretboard works good with litle childrens hands.
