We bought this guitar for our 6 year old and he really loves it. The strings can be tuned like an actual guitar and it can be plugged into an amp for louder volume!! I'm hoping it will hold up and he can enjoy it for a long time - or atleast until he advances to a real electric guitar. So far so good.

This review got stuck on fives stars for some reason, but its more like a 2.
Buy a Squire Mini Strat instead.

I've played guitar for over 10 years and own and handful. I bought this for my 8 yr old niece for Xmas when it was on sale for under $50. I figured I'll unbox it first and if it sucks real bad I won't give it to her. Well to my surprise I think its quality enough to learn the basics.

To start off, the major problem with this guitar is intonation - meaning, after you tune it, its sounds out of tune when you play different chords. And its not that bad, just a little off, so really its only an annoyance to those who've played a guitar with proper setup.

On the positive side, all the notes play clearly up the neck - no dead spots. The action is low, so its easy to press the strings down. The built in speaker is loud enough and not annoying. The battery life is good. Most importantly, the guitar is a prefect size for young hands.

Anyway, my niece has wanted a guitar for a little while. Day one I taught her how to press strings down to play notes. Next lesson was how to use a pick. After that I taught her a few chords that only require one string to be depressed.

So this guitar can be used to learn the very basics - picking and pressing notes. But as soon as chords are introduced it sounds like garbage. I'd say if they keep at it, and you see potential, you should buy something else immediately.

I had her parents purchase a squire mini strat after 2 weeks.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good for playing rock star, not for lessons, January 4, 2009

I bought this guitar for my son who is just starting to take lessons. This is NOT a good guitar for that purpose. You can barely tune the guitar strings when they are open and even if you do, they play the wrong notes. There's another review for this product saying the same thing. They were right, shame that post was after I had already bought this.

However, if you just want to buy this for your kid to pretend that they are a rock star, then it's fine and would warrant a 4 star review. Especially if you can pick it up on Amazon's Gold Box Clearance (under $30). The other review didn't like the amp. The amp works fine but I'd bet a kid could blow it out if they tried.

But as this item is not being sold as a toy and it's not a good guitar, it gets 1 star from me.
