My daughter bought this guitar in the toy section of a big box store. I know nothing about guitars; but aside from being very lightweight, this guitar looks like a real guitar. I was able to tune it because I did once play the violin. That was easy enough, but it doesn’t stay tuned for long.

The guitar doesn’t come with any instructions save for some cards that showed finger placement for a few chords. I didn’t expect a full lesson book, but it would have been nice if it included a little something.

My daughter wants to take guitar lessons. I have a feeling her toy won’t be adequate but it’s a start. For kids who just want to play around, this guitar is just fine.

I always keep this thing in my car, and it it a blast to play. Incredibly, it has survived a full cycle of Ohio seasons without getting warped or otherwise seriously damaged. Oh, and it stays in tune incredibly well. The tone itself is really unique, sorta thin and twangy, but enjoyable for a change. I really love the short scale because it facilitates some pretty extreme bends, even on the first 5 frets, something you can’t normally do on an acoustic. The worst thing about this guitar has to be the intonation – it gets pretty hairy the higher you go up on the neck. Oh well, I just attempt to tune the strings as best as I can to compensate for that, and I get by. This guitar is mostly useful to me for recording ideas in my car with my little tape recorder. good times!

I bought this for my Grandson. He cant play yet but this looks to be a very good STARTER guitar. Maybe one day he will play poppies D28.
