3.0 out of 5 stars Well Made Guitar for a Young New Player Learning Guitar, January 10, 2009

I ordered this guitar for my daughter for Christmas using expedited shipping. I ordered on Friday night and it arrived on Monday afternoon, and this was the week before Christmas! Great service, Amazon.

My 12 year old daughter never played guitar, so I didn't want to spend too much trying out an instrument. I read about the Dean guitars, which all seem to have gotten poor reviews. I chose the Westwood because it seemed to balance between value and performance. Also, it is labeled a "student" guitar, for whatever that is worth, but to me it sounded suited for a young person getting started. Also, I like that it came with a bag to protect it getting knocked about.

My guitar enthusiast musician friend inspected the new guitar and tuned it up before it was wrapped and put under the tree. He commented on how well it looked for the price. He was generally impressed with the quality, size and playability for a budget guitar. From a non-musician's perspective (me), this looks like a nice instrument.

I would be more impressed if it would stay in tune better. After Christmas, we re-tuned the guitar and took it to a guitar playing relative's house for some primers. The guitar would get out of tune after playing. The relative said that perhaps the pegs were slipping.

For the money, this can't be beat. I'm giving this 3-stars because I wish it would stay in tune better. However, I"m perfectly happy with the quality of the guitar given the price, and hope that after it breaks in, it will better stay in tune. My daughter is very happy with her guitar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my 10 year old son!!, December 11, 2008

By	musicpaboo - See all my reviews

I bought this for my 10 year old son for his birthday and I was kind of expecting a toy guitar. This is the real deal! My brother (who plays guitar) picked it up and just fell in love with it. He suggested to have new strings placed on it since the strings are usually not the best quality and that can make a huge difference.

The bag and the strap is a nice touch. I looked at some cheaper guitars and none of them included a bag and a strap. Now my son can rock on something real!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for young beginner, February 6, 2010

I bought this guitar to teach my grandson guitar. I wanted nylon strings and a smaller neck so he could learn without the pain of steel strings and could reach the chords easily. For that purpose this guitar works great. As far as the sound - not so great - but I expected that considering the low price. My grandson loves playing it and so far doesn't know what great guitar sound can be so it is working well. Plus I didn't want to invest a lot of money until I knew he would really stick with the guitar.
