everytime i try to tighten the strings so they will work, they either break or the turn key thing won't even stay turned. It just moves back where it was. I can't even play the guitar at all~!!!!! i want to send it back! galina

I usually read the reviews before I buy anything but I didn't in this case. :-( I had the same problem as Galina. I bought this guitar for my daughter's birthday and the strings were broken the very next day. You can't tune/tighten the strings without them breaking. [...]

I bought 2 of these, one for each of my daughters. I try to tighten the strings, and they dont stay tight. I you tighten too much, the strings break. What a waste of money!!!

I wish I would have read the reviews before I purchased. I had the same issues as everyone else, the strap doesn't connect, the strings are too loose and break when trying to tighten. I am online now trying how to figure out how to return. What a disappointment for my daughter on Christmas morning.

Austin Bazaar did not have one of the guitars I wanted in stock. They were really nice about changing my order; however, I never recieved my goods. I tried several days to get in touch with Austin Bazaar and theyresponded one time and said that Fed-ex said my stuff was delivered. For three days after that, I tried to contact Austin Bazaar and they would not respond. I had to file an A-Z claim with Amazon to get my money refunded. I will NEVER order anything from Austin Bazaar again!

I suppose you get what you pay for! I was looking for a reasonably cheap starter guitar for my 7 year-old daughter who has "inspirations" of being a rock star. Needless to say, I know the whims of childhood and didn't want to pony over big dough for a fad that would last all of 6 months (at best) potentially and then I'd be stuck with a mini-guitar that I couldn't use!

Anyway, I knew this would be a CHEAP guitar, but I didn't realize HOW cheap. The two biggest problems I have are with the machine heads (how you tighten/tune the strings) and the nut (the ridge at the top of the neck/fretboard that is just below the machine heads and the string rest on). I had to use a dremmel tool to cut the nut grooves that the strings are supposed to sit in deeper because of how the machine heads are arranged. The machine heads are aligned in a row and not staggered at all, this made the innermost four strings (A,D,G and B) jump out of place when I tried to tighten and tune them!

My overall assessment is: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Spend at least $70 and get a decent guitar. Something THIS cheap will only frustrate your child's ambitions and does not leave any room to truly determine if playing guitar is something your child would like to do long term or not.

I, too, wish I would have read these reviews before purchasing this guitar. I've had the exact same problems trying to tighten the strings - they won't stay tightened. One of the strings was even already broken when I received the item. Trying to get in touch with this merchant is impossible, and the fact that they refuse to pay return shipping on defective merchandise is RIDICULOUS!!! I'm going through Amazon for a refund!! DO NOT SHOP WITH THIS MERCHANT!!!
