Perfect Guitar for toddlers!
My son just turned 4 and he loves this guitar! My husband has many
guitars and has been playing for years and he thinks this is a good one
too. Seems like good quality, nice nylon strings that work just like
real ones, and the perfect size for my son.
Nice platforn to start from
I bought this for my six year old daughter, knowing that it was
probably a decent guitar body with cheap hardware ( and knowing a
little about tweaking guitars helped too ) i got this this for cheap.
the reviews are pretty much right on, it has trouble staying in tune
and for the last few weeks has been lying in the corner, silent. It
sounded really muted and cruddy, like it had tissues stuffed inside of
it. Well, I knew eventually i would get around to seeing what can be
done for very little money to make this thing sound better. First thing
i did was to swap out the tuners with the lowest cost gotoh I could get
online, (pretty decent tuner for seventeen bucks) and got rid of the
loose floppy apperatus that was supposed to be doing the job of holding
the strings in tune. I did have to drill out the pegholes to enlarge
them a fraction of an inch, for the new tuners to fit, spacing was the
same but the new pegs were a tad fatter. just a little, used a hand
drill and a 3/8 bit. I also swapped out the el cheapo factory strings
with some already broken in d'addario's from my yamaha classical. While
i had it torn down, remedied the high action with a saddle sanding and
a little filing on the zero fret. Yep, it has a zero fret, not a prob.
After getting the action where i thought best i tuned it up and i must
say it sounds like a completlely different instrument that it did
before. Buy it and use the net to learn how to set it up right. Sounds
pretty awesome now.
Not bad but hard to keep in tune
I thought that this would be a good guitar for someone I know who
has small hands. It isn't bad in general, but we have had one problem
with it. It refuses to stay in tune long enough to play more than one
song. And the tuning pins seems to slip a little. It must be tuned so
frequently that this has become rather frustrating. Perhaps it just
needs more time for the strings to settle in, but my other guitars are
not this difficult to keep in tune. If you can deal with the tuning
problem, I guess it would be a good beginner's guitar. For what I paid
for it, I guess you can't complain. I suppose you could say that it's
good for a beginner to have to do frequent tuning and that way he
learns very quickly the notes of each open string! Just be aware that
if you would be frustrated by frequent tuning, this one may not be for
you.
