 low low quality toy – may not even be played
By Yemen
This toy is in all probability the worst we’ve ever owned merely because it is a guitar but the strings are so loose we can’t play it. In the basi second my child opened it a string broke, but then when we tried to tighten the others it wasn’t possible, we tried screwing the knob and a screwdriver. This thing is just a big piece of junk – don’t waste your cash like we did.

Schylling – shame on you for putting this junk on the market
By honestabe
What a piece of crap…. don’t waste your $$. We purchased this for our 2 1/2 year old… have had it for a week and we’re down to 2 strings already (and these are the 2 replacements that come with the guitar, so we’ve fundamentally lost 1 string per day). Its actually horrid quality… i was strumming the guitar gently and one of the strings broke so i recognise it is not my son being overaggressive with it. I also worry that the problem doesn’t end with the strings… there are other constituents of this piece that are coming detached already (the brakcet to hold the strings, and the neck of the guitar). I’ve given up on this and have just ordered a real guitar… it will be too big for my son to hold but at least he will be competent to get sound out of it. Shame on you Schylling.

 Granddaughter Loves it!
By Alma Atkinson
My granddaughter is 7 yrs. old. she asked for a guitar for Christmas. seems to be made somewhat well except for the strings and tuner keys. they tend to slip backwards but I realize you have to be careful of dangerous objests with childrens toys. the company opted for SAFE over metal strings which could break and injure a child and I be grateful for that decision. Lacy does not even notice. she loves this toy guitar.
