It’s definitely good if you’re a beginner at acoustic guitar, and wanna learn how to play it. The packaging was hard to open but that’s a good thing. My guitar came in perfectly with no scratches, broken pieces, and it came with everything. The only problem I have is how easily it is to chip the wood off when it touches something so small, or the paint. Mine personally smelt like it was freshly new and painted so that could be the problem. Otherwise I give it a 9/10

STRINGS - For about $10, change the strings over to Nylon strings: 1) A child will not enjoy trying to hold down steel strings (ouch!). They require finger strength and it takes quite a while to develop callouses on the fingertips. 2) Decent strings significantly improved the sound quality! Now it sounds like music. 3) Nylon strings put less pressure on the saddle, which a few reviews mentioned pulling loose. 4) The tuning mechanism is the type found on a classical guitar, which has nylon strings so it's also appropriate for the design. - The local guitar shop recommended the ones pictured - ball ends and soft for young hands. You do not need special strings for a 1/4 size (30") guitar. With the new strings, it tuned easily and sounded very nice, especially for such an inexpensive guitar. As shipped, it would only frustrate a child but for an extra $10 for new strings, I am happy to give my 6 yr old granddaughter her own guitar.
PLAYING - There are no fret marks. I used a paint pen to add dots at the correct frets along the edge of the fingerboard.
FINISH- Fret marks are missing so I added appropriate dots on the side of the neck with a paint pen. Under bright light, the black finish has flaws, but a child won't notice or care. I barely noticed.
TUNER - Very nice. It's accurate and easy to use without an adult or app. and new strings need to be tuned a LOT for the first couple of weeks.
PICKS - Why? The guitar doesn't even have a pickguard and it's a skill that will come after a child will outgrow this guitar. But, kids will enjoy them.
