Product Description

Features:

Low string action for easy playing

Great feel and accurate intonation

Headphone jack for quiet practice mode

Requires one "9V" battery, not included.

Editorial Review
This lacquered child's guitar is a great first instrument for young enthusiasts, or kids who just want to jam with an adult. It embodies every feature professional electric guitars do; all parents need to supply are lessons. At 30 inches, it's not intimidating but inviting. Its just the right size for elementary school amateurs, but its small, smooth body (including a solid maple neck and fingerboard), real steel strings, and "vintage" coil make it sound and feel as real as a grownup's guitar. A headphone jack can be used for speakers, and the output jack next to it can be used for the amplifier. --Diane Beall

Didn't last long because the amp blew. September 18, 2006

My son loved making lots of noise on this guitar but the amp no longer works after only a few months and now he can't use it all. I would not recommend this product.

My son, James, received this lovely blue guitar for his 5th Birthday from his Nana, Anne Reilly. He states almost everyday that he loves this guitar so much. He loves the fact that the guitar has a built in amplifier with speaker. I am just thrilled James loves playing this guitar everyday, while singing songs and dancing around.....that to me is what childhood is about...being happy!!

Expensive for a toy, very poor as an instrument October 8, 2005

I purchased this guitar for my young boys. The strings don't stay in tune long enough to tune them all together. I put lighter strings and new tuners on it, but that did not help. I didn't expect much, but it should at least be able to be tuned.

There are some real morons typing reviews for this guitar.
This is by no means a high quality professional guitar and don't expect it to be so. It's a beginners toy that comes complete with an amp for around $60! You can't get a real quality guitar with an amp at that price. There's no sense in paying more if you're not sure if the kid getting it is going to follow through with actually learning to play it.
I did have a string break while tuning it put replaced all of them for less than $6 and it actually improved the sound. I've been playing it daily for about a month and am still on the first battery.
Instructions aren't in the box but if they were the price would be higher. Go buy a quality "How to play" book at a music store and it will tell you everything from tuning to playing it. Online lessons are out there for free.
You can't beat this item for what it's meant to do, i.e. introduce a child/adult into playing an instrument.
Now, quit expecting wine on a beer budget and buy this model.
