I bought this guitar for my son's 4th birthday. He likes it and it's well-sized for him but it doesn't hold a tune. I.e. it needs to be re-tuned every 5-10 minutes or so. I don't know if this is because it's a nylon-string or what, but it's definitely a pain.
I've owned this guitar for about 4 months, and am pretty pleased with it. For the price, you can't beat it. The sound is adequate. It seems durable- I've accidentally knocked it over several times, and nothing has broken or come apart. It comes rigged with a decent set of strings too, I'm a lefty so I immediately took them off and strung them the opposite way, and they're still hanging in there. I highly recommend this guitar for a beginner, or for someone who simply wants an inexpensive guitar to take with them or practice alternate tunings with.
From the other reviews it would appear that this is not ideal for an older child learning to play guitar as it slips out of tune. I was looking for a guitar for a three year old toddler who loves to pretend to play guitar and sing along. I had tried out other 1/2 size guitars but this seems more robust than the previous one I bought and the nylon strings are definitely easier on the fingers. I would have preferred that it came with a strap but I think that other than this it is a great guitar for a 3 or 4 year old to play with.
I've been playing the violin for 20-plus years and the guitar for at least 10 years, so I guess you could say I'm a fairly accomplished musician. As a musician, I have to say that this guitar is worth much more than its asking price. It looks great and sounds even better, especially considering that it costs so little to buy! I've owned several guitars and this one sounds just as good as any of the other popular brands. It's easy to tune and hold its tune just right. The proportions are nice, too, and fits nicely with my small hands. I'd recommend this to anyone, especially anyone looking to learn and practice. The black color looks great, too. By the way, I ordered this guitar on June 5th and it arrived to me on June 8th -- talk about fast!
