5.0 out of 5 stars Johnny's smiling! That's good enough for me!, December 12, 2007

I hesitated buying this guitar for my grandson when I saw a few negative reviews, but when I checked the list, the 5- and 4-star reviews were double the negative ones, so I decided to purchase it.

I realize it's not the best on the market, but a beginner doesn't need the best. Kids often think they want to play the guitar, then later change their minds in favor of drums or something else that catches their eyes. With that in mind and the economical price and the accessories, it was a no-brainer decision. Besides, it's quite stylish in a neutral way; not glittery and showy like some guitars I've seen; more suitable for a 12-year-old.

When I saw Johnny's face light up when he opened his birthday gift ... well, that was priceless to me. It's three months later and he's still smiling, so I consider this one of my best investments.

He's learned a few songs already and is constantly in his room, practicing. Since the sound is good, the noise doesn't bother me. I'd much rather hear him play than listen to blaring rap music. :)

One reviewer complained about the carrying bag, but that didn't worry me at all. It was still a good value, with or without the bag, and we've had no problems yet.

I recommend this to beginning guitarists, no matter how old. If they stick with it and decide to go professional, they can go on to more expensive equipment later.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guitar for beginner, November 9, 2006

I purchased this guitar for my 13 year old son to learn on. It is a full sized guitar with good sound for the price, and came with strap, pitch pipe and some other small items - I'm not sure what all else. After having it for two months, the "Free carrying bag" is starting to wear in several places so we will purchase a hardsided case soon but, otherwise, a very nice and affordable product for a beginner to start out with.

I purchased this guitar about 6 weeks ago, after the first week we noticed a crack in the neck, thinking maybe somehow we did something wrong, we took it to a local repair shop, he looked at it and said that this (supposedly brand new) guitar had been repaired before and rather badly, he said he could fix it but with continued use it will crack and become worse, well it did. I can't believe we were sold such a piece of junk and then for it to be passed off as New. Do not buy, Seller is not honest.
