5.0 out of 5 stars Great little guitar for your toddler! Read my last sentence if this is a gift. November 14, 2012

Pattern Name:Amazon Frustration-Free|Amazon Verified Purchase

Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

We have both this guitar and B. Toys' "Woofer" guitar (in the shape of a dog) and have really been enjoying them both (especially the ability to control the sound volume on each - ha!). The LeapFrog Touch Magic Rockin' Guitar is the smaller of the two, and instead of "real" strings, it uses a touch sensor when you "strum" your fingers over the illustrations of the strings (which causes the guitar to play different chords corresponding to the song selected). There is enough variety in the songs so it seems like you're never hearing the same song for too long (unless your little one falls in love with a song and switches through the circle of songs to replay her favorite over and over...) - with a variety of children's classics and Leapfrog original songs (which are a chilling mixture of catchy and annoying - but they grow on you and you'll find yourself humming them in the elevator at work...). The B. Toys Woofer guitar seems to be a sturdier build (and much heavier) and the songs have funnier lyrics - and the "real" strings are a plus and a minus. The Leapfrog guitar is very easy to hold and "rock out" with - and the feature of a "clap" button has been a huge hit with our little rock star (as she likes to make it cheer for her after each song). The guitar sound effects are fun as well (but ask me again two months from now...). At fifteen bucks on Amazon, this was a really great deal -- and I think your child will really be happy with either this guitar or the B. Toys version, which runs about twenty two bucks at target. I prefer the B. Toys one for it's creativity and the quality of the chord sounds - but only by a small margin, and the lightness of the Leapfrog guitar and the "clap" button might swing me in its favor once I've had them both for a longer period to judge. You really can't go wrong with either (as long as you have built up enough "electronic toy sounds" tolerance). Note - this frustration free package version really did come in truly frustration free packaging - but it lacked the Leapfrog box, so might not be the best choice if your gifting the item (unless it's to a close family member).

My 3 year-old daughter absolutely loves this guitar. It was an instant hit! She has a Sesame Street Elmo guitar which is more for younger toddlers. This one actually responds to the strumming and has a great variety of songs, which is music to my ears. It is very lightweight and easy for her to hold. She is having fun playing along side Daddy's guitar (and guitar hero!) This is super cute for the little musician in your life.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easy to clean? August 23, 2012

Durability: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

I ordered this guitar for my three year old niece because, like all kids, she loves music and messing around with levers and switches and whatnot. Right off the bat, I was disappointed when I opened the box to find a flat decal on the face of the guitar. The whole thing is activated by 'touch' sensors, so there are no protruding buttons on the guitar! Lame! It looked like fun with all the different buttons and effects, but it looks more like one of those Paper Jamz guitars you get at Walgreens. LeapFrog recently launched a line of Touch Magic toys, with this guitar being one of the first items in the series.

The actual sound is pretty good. There are options for drums, crowd noise, vocals on or off, and guitar solos and flourishes. A nice range of options. It only comes loaded with 10 songs, but 10 is a lot better than just one song, over and over and over.

The flat face is the biggest letdown, but it is easy to wipe down. It also comes with a nice little guitar strap, and it is very lightweight overall. I'd say the general length of the guitar is about 18", just right for a small child, and its fairly thin, not bulky at all.

The original MSRP was $39.99 for this item, which I would say is outrageous, but at half that price, for a kid who loves playing with musical toys, it's not a bad deal.
