Frank, It is absolutely a good guitar for a 10 years old with this price. When I bought this guitar, my son was also 10 years old. This guitar was recommended by his guitar's instructor when my son started the lesson.Hope that your boy/girl would enjoy it.

Excellent! I have an 8 year old that has been taking lessons for 6 months now. It is a great guitar. I have had people who have played for years tell me what a great guitar it is for the price!!!

I think it is a good guitar for a 10yr old. If the interest fades you're not out a lot. My son likes his and the sound is really nice.

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!

Depends. Its a good solid guitar for the price but at 10 she may be a bit small to hold the body to play it, since it is a full size rather long necked and wide bodied guitar. Basically if you think her arms are long enough to finger the frets and get her other arm over it to strum -- go for it -- if not go for the the 3/4ths size to start. That is what I would do.

I bought this little guitar for my 6 year old son to learn to play. I was amazed at how good it sounds that I started using it myself. This is a small guitar but not a toy guitar, it has great sound compared to regular sized guitars of the same price range. Hope this helps.

Although I have been playing on and off for several years, I am not a very accomplished guitar player. I have been to guitar centers and tried several other guitars. I think the S6 is relatively easy to play, sounds great, is a nice size and the price is hard to beat for the quality you get. I think it would be a great beginner's choice.

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

I am not a professional regarding acoustic guitar. What I can do is give you my personal opinion. I love the way it plays for me being a beginner, very easy on the eye and to hold for learning. I know of some-one who was self tough on it and then passed it down to children, now they are learning on it.

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 am guitar teacher with 40+ students, mostly children. Most of my young students play this guitar, including my grandson, who is 11. In my experience, it has been the perfect size for a 6-10 yr. olds. Easy to play nylon strings means we get to skip hearing the complaints of sore fingers. This little guitar is a workhorse, is a for-real guitar, and it gets the job done for an affordable price. I am a huge fan of the Amigo AM15.

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.

It is fine for a 10 years old. But do not expect too much on the sound and tone quality.

It is an awesome beginner guitar it comes with steel strings which are just fine for beginning. Nylon strings will stretch a few times before they set, the only problem with this is you will find yourself tuning the guitar quite a few times before they have finished stretching. The plus side of nylon strings is they are softer on fingers. If your son finds the steel strings are hurting his fingers you can always replace the steel with nylon.

I bought it as a gift for my granddaughter, age 12, and she loves hers. She is also taking lessons at school. It's a good fit, size-wise. You might want to replace the guitar "strings" with silk and steel strings if you're concerned about tender fingers. Possibly nylon strings but I'm not sure if they'd work. And if you do decide to replace the strings, choose the lightest gauge you can since they aren't as hard on unseasoned fingers as heavier gauge strings.

I really don't think it is worth it. By the time you put custom tuners and better strings on it you will have spent more than the cost of the guitar. I would suggest looking for a beginner guitar kit at that point.

I bought this for my boys at 10, it's a nice guitar. Depending on what your plans are for your 6 year old they can grow into it as it's quality enough to last and is what the music instructor suggested to me for my boys. My twins are 10 and pretty small so it shouldn't be too bad size wise. If you are looking for more of a toy one this isn't it. My smaller twin was 50 inches tall and 48lbs if that helps all. Feel free to ask anything else you need, I know I needed it when I was looking.

I would probably start a 10 yr old on a smaller size esp a beginner. This however would be a good next guitar for someone who may go from beginner to novice and then a little older/bigger
