I bought one of these to have as a "loaner" guitar for students, etc. I had grave reservations buying a guitar priced so low (I paid about $30), but this one was very playable, the intonation was good, and the tuners worked (all things likely to be lacking at this price). I have since bought four more for students. One has questionable action. I do not know if I will be able to get it setup correctly, but it is already out the door. All the others play well. These guitars also look okay.

Here are the weak points. The neck is "clubby." The guitar is all laminate construction of some hardwood I have not identified (may be Ash, may be a Chinese hardwood I know nothing about). And this brings us to the sound. It is not the best. It sounds better picked fingerstyle (which I teach) than strummed with a pick. The one I have kept I have strung in "Nashville" tuning, and it is fun to hammer around on strung up that way.

Someone could actually learn to play on at least four out of five of these.

This guitar is suited for people with little hands. I have a hard time with my fingers because they are small, and this guitar works great. The sound isn't bad, but I would get new strings, and the guitar is sturdy and will work well for the new player. The color is nice too, it adds a little something to just a basic guitar.

I bought this guitar for my daughter who is a beginning guitar player. It is just the right size for her small stature. The sound is really great also.

I bought this guitar as a Christmas present for my nine year old nephew. There are mixed/decent reviews, but the guitar I received was a dud. It arrived with dents in the neck and body (which occurred prior to shipment because they were painted over) and it would not stay in tune no matter how many times I re-tuned it. By the time i would get to the last string, the first one would be off again. If you choose this guitar, I hope you have better luck than I did.

They say that you get what you pay for... well sometimes with kids you pay more than you wanted for something that is only interesting for a week. This guitar is great for parents who have a kid screaming for a guitar - but with short attention spans... I bought this for my 10 year old, and I have to say, it's a beautiful color. We swapped the strings out right away for some higher quality and had a bit of difficulty tunning it... but that may because of the fact that they wouldn't hush so that the tuner would give us an accurate reading.

The sound is about what you would expect from a beginner guitar, picks have a twangy metallic sound so you might want to push fingerstyle rather than picking. But for the price, if you aren't sure your kid will still want it 2 months from now... you can't beat it. (I also bought the blue one for my youngest son... they are still fighting over who ended up with the prettier guitar)

The quality of this guitar is much better than I expected. It's a beautiful looking instrument; the pictures don't do it justice. To my novice ears, it has a nice, mellow tone. Everyone who has seen it has said the same thing: "Oh, wow!"

I bought this as a beginner guitar for my 13-year-old grandniece, and the size is just right: big enough to look and sound like a "real" guitar, but small enough to be comfortable. I would recommend the size for an older child or small adult.

I'm very pleased with this purchase. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as a beginner guitar, and it's a bargain at the price. I've seen guitars costing much more that weren't as nice.

I BOUGHT THIS GUITAR AS A GIFT FOR MY NINE YEAROLD GRAND SON AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT, I LOVED IT IMMEDIATELY MY SON WHO PLAYS GUITAR SAID IT WAS AN EXCELLENT BUY THANKS LINDA DIAS

Great 3/4 size guitar. Good starter for child. Tunes well and looks great. Sound is very good.

For the price, this was a good little instrument for a 9 year old. The strings were very hard, even for me, so we restrung it and it has held up very well. Still playing 3 years later, although we're going to have to buy something more expensive. But to find out if a child has inclination or talent, this was a very economical and wise purchase.

Bought this guitar for my sister for Christmas. It feels heavy weight and good quality. I couldn't give it a 5 star rating because my sister's favorite colors are red and black and I specifically ordered this for the color; this guitar looks more like brown orange wood burst than redburst. But other than that, I would recommend this. By the way, I labeled this "Seemingly good guitar" because it is a gift and I have not played it, but from checking it out it seems to be a good guitar. :-)
