 a real instrument February 4, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
this guitar is a real instrument. It keeps the tuning for quite some time and sounds pretty good for its size. Even with adult fingers you can play it and our kids love it. Very good value for money and a good first guitar. If your kid loves it it can really be played on, if your kid does not love it, it's not a big financial loss either. So if you are thinking your kid may be interested in playing the guitar this appears to be a good starting point. Very recommendable.
 With a little work, this is a neat little guitar February 1, 2008
I wasn't very happy with this little guitar when it arrived. There were several strings that sounded deadened, and it would not stay in tune. Since I already owned the guitar, I decided to see what could be done. I bought a new set of Gotoh classical tuners,a new set of quality strings, and proceeded to install them.
Installing the tuners was easy and straigt forward, the only caution I have is to look at how the old pegs turn before you install the new ones. I didn't know how to tie the strings, so I Googled installing nylon strings, and found instructions that were easy to follow.
After installing the tuners and pre-stretching the strings, I was pleasantly surprised with the sound of this little guitar, and it now holds its tune very well.
NOT a "nylon string guitar" January 6, 2008

I ordered this guitar for my 7-year old daughter for Christmas - not being a guitar player myself, I was relying on the advice of a neighbor. He told me that my daughter's first guitar should absolutely have nylon strings - in order to ease the pain on her fingers until her interest in the instrument solidifies. Anyway, I looked around for a nylon string guitar, but the guitar stores around where I live were out of them... so, I ordered from Amazon. The product description says "nylon strings" but when it arrived, it had 3 nylon strings and 3 steel strings. When I wrote to the company, their explanation was that it is a "classical" guitar, meaning it has 3 steel & 3 nylon. Many of you probably know that already, but I didn't - and it certainly wasn't clear (and still isn't) in the product description. And so I'm a bit annoyed, because to ship it back is going to be costly, and the shipping to get it to me by Christmas was also not cheap. So... if you want all nylon strings, DON'T order this guitar.
So pleased with this purchase! February 25, 2007

This is a real guitar. It will take a while to get it tuned properly due to new strings, so be patient. If you child has a guitar fixation, then this is just the fix. It will be too small for 6 year olds so be sure to get a 3/4 size for them. But this guitar is real and nicely made for such a low price.
The perfect guitar for a kid's first lessons February 3, 2007

Many thanks to the earlier reviewers who recommended the Amigo. We bought both the guitar and case for our 5-year-old daughter to take to weekly lessons and we couldn't be happier. The materials, workmanship and finish are remarkable for the price. And more importantly, it plays like a real guitar. The sound is sweet and round enough that I genuinely enjoy the sound of 5-year-old practicing (!), and after an initial breaking-in period it holds tuning well.
