Learned to play way too many years ago. Wanted to give myself a new challenge in a new way. The old electric down from the rafters and dusted off was just a little too much to get going. Decided to look for something simpler to refresh myself on. I did plenty of shopping online and in person. There were plenty to chose from here. I was looking for simple cheap and easy. This guitar really fit the bill. It's not for "dummies" mind you. It's a great guitar. Plays and sounds good. Comes with all you'll need to learn to play. Nothing fancy. I'm having fun with it. The bag is plastic, it's better than nothing. The tuner couldn't be easier. The book is for the novice, the included cd gives some practical lessons. I can always use the picks. Perfect setup for new beginnings. You can't go wrong buying this product.

My girls,15 and 17, each needed a secondary instrument for school and wanted to try guitar. The price was right but the quality for the price was outstanding. I bought two of these and they are both great guitars. They play well and sound great. I have 32 years in the music business and I have never seen such quality for the money.

The was an excellent choice for my teenage daughter's first guitar. It is enough for her to get started until she decides whether to continue playing or not. This item was also delivered site to store even quicker than I had been promised. Many thanks!

This is my 1st guitar, I'm in my 80's. The FedEx man brought it early on a Sunday morning, it was well packaged and arrived undamaged, with everything that was included in the bundle. The CD is packaged in the back of the Dummies book. I tuned the guitar with the included tuner. The guitar is beautiful and appears well made, and has a beautiful sound. Between "Guitar Basics for DUMMIES" and YouTube videos even I should be able to make music to entertain myself

Was pretty happy with the purchase but found that there was no strap provided for the guitar and that the tuner did not seem to work as well as it should. Also the Cd was not as instrutional as it needed to be. Will probably end up taking the guitar some where to be tuned and still paying for some lessons.

For the first timer, this guitar is a good bargain. It has all the necessary options included. The only thing I would recommend is to purchase set of new guitar strings as a add-on gift since this does not include a set of strings. Otherwise, this is a perfect gift.

Agree with the other reviewers in that we were pleased with the sound and size of the guitar. Not too big for a pre-teen to hold. Not overpriced. All of which is what we wanted for a first instrument. It had an electronic tuner, which was a nice touch, but we still haven't figured out how to use that. The instructions for the tuner were not helpful. So we'll have to tune it another way for now. Was shipped to house (store pickup not available) and arrived intact and within the time frame promised. Very happy with it overall.

This is my first guitar ever so there is not much to compare it to in any way. But I have no complaints, it is full size(which I was concerned about when I read the desc.), the tuner is great and easy to use, the guitar sounds like it should. I have had no issues with anything breaking on it or the bag. If you're looking for a guitar to learn on, this is the best value for your money hands down. I looked for days before picking this one, and I am not disappointed.

I received this from Wal-Mart in the box. After I got home and seemed all the packaging I was ecstatic. The guitar was beautiful and sounded great. About a week went by and I noticed that one of the braces inside the guitar was broken. I already threw out the original packaging so now I'm stuck with a broken guitar. That's what I get for buying from Wal-Mart.

I bought this guitar as a surprise for my daughter (35). She'd mentioned that she would love to learn how to play, so I ordered the guitar and had it sent to her house. When it arrived the guitar was broken. Either the guitar is poorly made and/or the care in shipping was substandard. I've not been able to return the guitar due to transportation issues...that's why I ordered it.
