  • Good starter for young kids, but not a serious instrument.

Reviews around tune (4.03 of 5)

  • However, it was clear from the moment i started tuning it that this was a plaything and not a real guitar
  • And as others reported it falls out of tune faster than one would expect.
  • Updated the review because we found out it also looses tune very fast due to poor materials and construction - allot of flex in neck
  • By the time you get to the 6th string the first 2 are out of tune and when you spend the time to go back and forth to really get it balanced (all 6 strings in excellent tune) it lasts for 15 minutes and then they go out again
  • It is hard to tune, but holds it's tune pretty well once it's tuned.

Reviews around kid (4.01 of 5)

  • The D string broke upon first tuning this guitar out of the box
  • My kids did enjoy playing with it, but I really wanted something they could learn to make actual music that sounds right.
  • For the price, this is the BEST kid's guitar out there.
  • not having a case for it will probably shorten its life span as kids are pretty tough on their toys.
  • Perfect for kids age 5 and up..very happy with purchase

Reviews around look (3.78 of 5)

  • If you are looking for a product for a kid to act like they are playing the guitar, it is fine
  • Not sure if it had been returned to the company or not but it seemed extremely cheap(which the price is very cheap for a child's guitar, but I had read reviews and expected something not so cheap looking) the strings were really loose and can't seem to get them to tighten
  • If you're looking for a first guitar that isn't crappy, this one is great.
  • USE LIGHT GAUGE STRINGSIf you follow the above suggestions you will have many years of enjoyment from this very cool looking guitar.
  • The fake wood look is pretty good, it fools most people until they touch it.

Reviews around price (3.68 of 5)

  • Not sure if it had been returned to the company or not but it seemed extremely cheap(which the price is very cheap for a child's guitar, but I had read reviews and expected something not so cheap looking) the strings were really loose and can't seem to get them to tighten
  • Considering it is for a child learning to play, it works as intended, and the price is right
  • I guess for a cheaply priced guitar, that should be expected
  • For instance, the first fret on the A string was a C instead of an A sharp.
  • I know you get what you pay for, but this should only be sold be sold in a toy department for a cheaper price

Reviews around quality (3.50 of 5)

  • Not the most top quality guitar but good enough for a 5 year old boy who likes to strum around every once and a while
  • and I can buy a more expensive, higher quality guitar when she gets a little older and better at it.
  • We considered keeping it as a toy for our 2 year old but it is such poor quality that I don't think we'll even keep it for him
  • Not great quality for a starter guitar unless the child is under 10yrs old.
  • I am not going to return it because it's for a 4 year old, but I'm disappointed that while o expected poor wound quality, I did expect it to be in tune once you got the core strings tuned.

Reviews around plastic (1.61 of 5)

  • The guitar is made of plastic and does not sound nearly as good as the older ones.
  • Our opinion is that the neck of the guitar is too weak (plastic NOT wood) to offer enough strength to maintain tuning
  • Cheap Plastic ties for the strings at the base broke off when string popped and will not allow for a new one
  • Thought I was purchasing an actual kids guitar, instead I received an unusable plastic toy
  • The neck is sturdy plastic and body seems sturdy as well

Reviews around act (1.38 of 5)

  • Not like the First Act we purchased in the past that were wood body and easy to tune.
  • Price is the same, but The First Act is inferior with respect to the tuning knobs.
  • My girl wanted a guitar, and knowing that this could be a fleeting want I decided on a cheap first act
  • For instance, the first fret on the A string was a C instead of an A sharp.
  • The guitar is made of plastic and does not sound nearly as good as the older ones.

Reviews around buzz (1.00 of 5)

  • It has plastic frets so they will wear down fast making fret buzz worse
  • The string action is to low so fret buzz is inevitable
  • But if you were actually wanting to encourage a child to learn to play, the annoying buzzing is probably going to turn them off..
