Product Description

Editorial Review

Now the young Clapton or Segovia in the family can give up air guitar, put away the tennis racket, and drop the useless plastic toy guitar that makes a noise like squirrels in a trash bag. This all-wood 30-inch acoustic guitar may have a lurid paint job that can best be described as "psychedelic camouflage," but it’s a good choice for the budding musician who is too small for the real thing. Metal frets and big, well-designed tuning pegs make it easy to tune and play, as does its thinness--the guitar is only just over 2 inches thick. The strings are all steel and replacement B and E strings are included. The 19 metal frets are marked with standard fret markers. --Richard Farr

My son loves his new guitar. My father and I are musicians and this little thing really works! I was concerned that it would be hard on the fingers and rough or twangy but it sounds good for a small instrument. My dad couldn't put it down, it was so cute. A child can learn to play on this. I would recommend it as a first guitar. You really can't go wrong for the price.

This guitar is cute, and my daughter is thrilled to have it. However, it's supposed to be for kids who are just learning, and it came with absolutely no help whatsoever. No pick, no instructions on tuning, not even a little beginner songbook to get a child started. It's a guitar in a box. I've had to search online, call local music shops and ask friends just so she can use this guitar for its intended purpose. She thinks its great, but Mom's pretty disappointed.

We are very pleased with this guitar. It is so well made, nicely decorated and such a sturdy toy, and has great sound as well. I can see it being a favorite for a long time.
