Yes, a great beginner guitar, but it is a guitar, so it is kind of a delicate piece, but my nieces and nephews have only managed to break the strings, and one tuning peg. But I ordered 3 last xmas and they are all with in 3 or 4 years of 7 years. So for the money it was a great buy.

IF you hate your kid, buy this thing. IT is the worst guitar I ever bought! The strings are just sent all wound together, can't figure out which is which, the neck is one piece with the body, can't adjust it! good luck with the tuning! This should be sold for a penny! Oh, it's great for firewood! Or you can use the body as a planter.

I know I'm a little too late, but I do think it would be a great first guitar for a kid. however it might be a little too big for him. You might want to consider the guitars made for kids his age. Maybe with some of his favorite cartoon characters as well.

I would suggest not to buy this guitar....Give your grandson a better guitar. .. He will learn well. ..

mine was broke the second it came out of the box and i believe it was broke when it was shipped so i cant help you here except to say its a cheap little unit that will only entertain a 2 yr old ( and thats if it works ) i wasnt expecting a proffesional model for the price but i did expect more and that it worked. i would go to cheaplites.com and get a real one. guitar center also sells better ones for not much more money and those will last a whole lot longer

Hahaha it's a real guitar. I know the price is shocking but it works. I would suggest changing out the strings when you get it though, they are cheap as a peep. Good beginner acoustic though

If your child is serious about music spend the money and go to a local music store. This is more of a toy. If you're look for a toy then buy it but if your child is serious about guitar then take the advice I didn't and buy local and spend the extra money and get a real guitar. Don't be dumb like me and crap off amazon because you want to save money. It cost me more headaches then it was worth and I ended up buying a more expensive guitar from a local music store.

I really don't know that much about guitars, but my son (father of the grandaughter I bought the guitar for) took it to a guitar shop to buy a case for it and the dealer told him it was one of the finest models he had ever seen for a young beginner. She enjoys it immensely and wants to be like taylor swift when she grows up - she is 9. Hope this helps in a small way.

Perfect guitar for a beginner to learn on. It's very playable & forgiving. If she keeps up her interest in playing it'll be an awesome guitar for intermediate to professional playing. It may cost a little more than a lot of the cheapies but it's extremely important to have a quality guitar to depend on as you go thru the learning stages. The cheaper the guitar, the quicker a beginner loses interest. FACT!

Hi from, Mike. The one that I bought was a round neck ?? Just like a standard guitar - Great guitar for the price - But did need to be set up to play right -

The guitar is good for any age. It's small enough for a ten year old to easily handle. It sounds great too. Definitely not a toy.

This guitar might be too small for him, it really depends on the size of his fingers and hand span. I would take him to a guitar shop and find out if it's the right fit.. then come back online and buy through Amazon ! You won't find better prices or service anywhere else for all musical gear... I haven't !

Just wanted to thank you for letting it be known the answers were helpful. So many people don't do that, and I believe it helps our rating rank (not to mention a potential customer such as yourself), but only if the person asking says the answer was helpful, so thanks for taking the time to do that. I bet your granddaughter will LOVE this (and if she's into pink-even more so), plus it's a Fender guitar and they make quality products. If you need help w/ a good, cost effective amp, let me know as the 1 we bought on Amazon was perfect for the situation/who was using it. Anyways, thanks again and Happy Holidays :)!!

It should be fine. I believe it is a 3/4?size guitar, which is probably ideal for a 10-13 year old.

I bought my son, 10, a regular size strat and was a bit too big for him. (You could go into a local guitar store and have him try a regular vs 3/4 size.) So we went with the 3/4 strat and kept the regular one which I enjoy playing. He is smaller than your average boy at 10 yrs old. I also had some debate about acoustic vs. electric as well. I'm very glad I went with electric because he really enjoys making different sounds with the guitar and amp. It is really keeping his interest high.

Are you and adult? If so get a mini Taylor. I'm 5'11" average build and this guitar is small. It's my son's. I have a mini Taylor and regular , I only play mini

I've only had the guitar for a month now and it's ok... It actually looks quite solid and in my opinion it will last a while.. That being said I saw a few other mini guitars at a fraction of the price and sound good... Go to the shop and have a look before u decide!

I gave it to my eight year old last year for Christmas. The amp that comes with it is just right. Over all I would say it's a good starter guitar. On a scale of 1-10 I would give it an 8. Good buy.

Yes! This guitar is amazing. My husband has a Taylor and he likes playing this one just as much. We got this for our daughter, and she has learned all the chords, and actually plays for hours at a time. I'm sure you will be VERY pleased!! Best of luck with your new guitar, you will not regret buying it. Happy playing!
