A great start, and for the price, its really great!

I bought it for my 6 year old, and he loves it. It's just the right size for his hands and he feels at home playing it. :)

Vous en avez pour votre argent

Bien entendu il ne faut pas s'attendre à quelque chose d'exceptionnel mais en regard du prix c'est tout à fait adapté pour une introduction à la guitare auprès des enfants, ce qui n'en fait pas un jouet. Vous pourriez acheter une guitare jouet pour deux fois le prix, elle n'en fera pas autant !

Un achat raisonnable et un très joli cadeau pour un enfant qui s'intéresse à la guitare et veut en savoir plus.

pretty good for the price

I bought this for my 3 year old nephew, it looks pretty good a little rough around the edges but for the price i wasn't expecting much. the strings were very dirty, the fretboard was chipped but again for the price its playable and pretty good. also he loves it

Quality vs Price

It works for the amount paid.

Great for children !

I work as a kindergarten teacher and this guitar is a big hit with the kids. More of a toy than a serious guitar but it defiantly works more than fine ! I think its worth the price and I might even buy more for the school. Overall Great buy!

More then I expected

I ordered this for my sons birthday, just so he can get a feel for holding a guitar and did not expect it to be much more then a toy.

Ob boy was I surprised, it is very well built, sturdy which is good for kids and for traveling. The sound is great, no fretbuzz nothing, all strings and every fret sound very clear.

However I did have problem finding a good tuning for it, then decided to do standart tuning which worked out great, it went out of tune after playing a few chords for the first week or so, now this little thing holds its tune very nicely.

For this price I am honestly in awe about what I received and I might just get another one for myself.

Does not hold tuning properly.

I expected more...

Guitar bought for 2yo kid just to take first steps and learn how to hold and apreciate the instrument without fear of demolishing a pricey guitar.

For that price I haven't had huge expectations but I must say I expected more.

Build and quality is ok, no crucial flaws on first sight, but unfortunately guitar is nearly unplayable. Doesnt stay in tune and always sounds out of tune.

Good for nothing

I bought this guitar for a small kid. I didn't want to buy a toy guitar, but something that would be good enough to serve as a "first very-poor-quality guitar, but that is an actual guitar". This is not it. Badly built, the first 2-3 frets are a disaster, the strings are (what feels like) 20 cms aways from the fret. One might be able to make some decent sound with a capo. But it doesn't fit the purpose I want it for. Might be good wood for the fire, but I haven't tried that yet.

Great little guitar

I bought this guitar to teach my 5 year old son and i'm very happy with it.

After i'd stretchered the strings out a bit (Nylon) the guitar stays in tune pretty good.

All in all a good buy i'm happy with it the only con is that my hands are too it to play it!
