Luna Aurora Faerie Mini Acoustic Guitar, Candy Pink

I bought this guitar for my daughter's 3rd birthday. I'm sure someone is reading this and thinking to themselves why pay 70 bucks for a guitar for a 3-year-old? I asked myself the same question, and the answers I came up with are:

1. Because she wanted a guitar.
2. Because she loves music, and though she may not be ready for lessons NOW, it's a great time to foster her interest in it.
3. Because I don't want her (and her 2-year-old brother) playing with my $1000 guitar.
4. Because it's an instrument, not a toy.
5. Because it is put together well enough to last for a while.
6. Because it's pink and girly with a fairy on it!
7. Did I mention she wanted a guitar?

The Luna Aurora isn't a high-dollar artist series or professional guitar. The tuners aren't the best, but it's fun to play and has a decent sound... much better than other guitars of the same type/size on the market. I'm sure it will be around considerably...Read more

We purchased this guitar for our 5 year old daughter's first foray into guitar playing. The problem we ran into was this: you either buy a 30 dollar piece of junk, or a $350, serious guitar. Since she's 5, we were on the lookout for something in the middle of the range. Luna is apparently a company that makes guitars only for girls, and so we gave them a whirl. The guitar is OK- doesn't have great sound, but it is tunable and her guitar teacher can play it and make it sound pretty good. It's mainly plastic- not a lot of wood, if any. Bear in mind, this is a "my first" type of instrument that won't break the bank and will last long enough to see if your little rocker will hang in there with the lessons. The fairy is cute- a totally girly guitar, without a doubt! Just not an heirloom, by any stretch. We'll probably upgrade her in about a year.

I have played guitar for about 18 years and when my 5 year old daughter wanted to start playing I wanted a guitar for her which would stay in tune, be easy to play (low string action small neck radius) and be the right size. I looked around and came across this one. Read the reviews and agree with all the good things people had to say. This is a medium quality guitar. For the price point is a GREAT buy. Not just a toy from chain store. This thing works and I find myself jammin out on it prior to her taking her turn.
