Is this a good beginner guitar? And would I need an electric tuner for a steel stringed guitar as this one?

As a left handed beginner where ur choise of guitars are very limited; this is a very good guitar for the price. The tuner can b used to plug in an amp or tune ur strings. So tuner will b helpful unless u carry around an tuner. Now this was my forst guitar which i learned then passed down to a friend. So its a good guitar for beginners.

There is a tuner in the guitar so you would not need a tuner. The electronics need a 9v battery though. This is a fine beginner guitar. Honestly looking back I would have gotten something else, but I was not and would not be disappointed with this guitar.

Yes, it is a nice guitar for a beginner and someone who has been playing for a while.

The guitar is beautiful and built well. It is a good guitar for a beginner. I bought it for my wife, she is just learning to play. Put better strings on it. Well worth it.

I bought this guitar for my nephew who is 7. It is a wonderful size for him. also, it is a student's guitar but beautiful and excellently made using steel strings. It has everything needed, carry case, pitch tuner, and pick. It's also great value for price. Hope this helps.

Its a great guitar but the action is a bit high. Barre chords could be difficult for her depending on her hand strength. If she's dead set on playing acoustic guitar, bring her to a music store and have her test out some steel string acoustics and nylon string classicals. That will give you a better idea of what will make her most happy with a first guitar.

Steel strings. I bought this guitar for a beginner and find that it holds a good tuning for a long time. Would definately recommend for a beginner...

The neck is standard (a little slim). If you were blind you would think its a full size guitar. it is *easy to restring and to tune, the headstock is just not in a normal place but the tuners work exactly the same. It does NOT sound normal without an amp. It is great as a "silent" guitar to pratice with, but you need a headphone amp, like a VOX AmplPlug. If you do plug it into a practice amp (like a Cube, 10w marshall, pignose etc.) it will sound great, it also sounds great in full size amps.

yes it comes pre-stringed with a tuner. In my opinion, this this feels like a toy and kind of sounds like one too. I think if a person wants a really good quality built & sounding instrument, you need to spend several hundred dollars. This is the second under a $100 mandolin I have bought off Amazon. I returned the first one due to quality, or lack thereof. They market these as actual great sounding and playing units but they are not. They are inexpensively built with inexpensive materials and they will never hold a tune for this reason. Good product for kids but pony up and spend a few hundred on one for an adult.

Sure. If you want something easy to play but you're not certain you'll stay with it, this is a very playable guitar for a ridiculously low investment. However, if you already play another instrument and/or have any tone sensitivity, or want something you can play more seriously later on; spend some extra $ for a better "starter" guitar. 5'-8" is irrelevant. This guitar has the same shape and dimensions as a classical guitar. There are many other options to a dreadnought, if size is a concern.

I just bought this guitar. I am a novice, but my friend is not and thinks it is a great bargain for the money.

The guitar does not have a built in tuner, but there is a tuner that comes with the whole package. It's not built into the guitar. It is as helpful as a built in tuner.

This guitar only has the set of strings it came with and they may be or may not be the ones you need. We don't know that much about guitars. Thanks!

Yes. It is. We've had this for 6 months now for my 6 year old son who takes lessons. So far this guitar has been a great beginner guitar. It rarely slips out of tune after practice making the next practice with the teacher get started with minimal tuning. We are happy with this choice.

steel strings. This is a great starter for my 10 yr. old. we did have to reglue the neck right at the body but that may have been because we tightened the strings too tight. For the price, we were impressed. She now is taking lessons and the guitar still sounds great. She's had it since April and it is still a nice piece. The case for it is good too. I would highly recommend this guitar to any starter!

Yes, I would say so. If the action is adjusted right (which mine was, right out of the box) then it should be easy on the fingers. It's fun to play and it sounds great - and it looks great. You can get cheaper starter guitars, but if this is in your price range, go for it.

It's a nice little guitar for someone starting out. It's been pretty reliable but needs constant running. It doesn't always sound as it should. I guess it's a good starter guitar for someone who has an ear to tune it.

The guitar comes fully assembled with the strings already on the guitar. Unfortunately, no guitar will retain it's tuning during shipping. If you are a beginner and not yet adept at tuning a guitar yourself are numerous tuners available these days. In fact you can now purchase high quality electronic tuners for under $20.00, these are a huge advantage advantage over sound matching tuners that require a good ear to operate.Korg AW2G Clip-on Chromatic Guitar Tuner
