I ordered the Guitar for my Granddaughter for Christmas. She was delighted and so were we. She has already had three lessons and has done great. We are very pleased with this purchase and recommend it to others.Alfred's Kid's Guitar Course, Complete Starter Pack

This pack is incredible. The guitar is great, all wood and nylon strings to make it easy for beginner hands. It has a set of picks, an electronic tuner, and the book, cd, dvd pack are absolutely incredible. The carrying case is great too. This is an incredible value!
