Valencia Classical Kit 1 3/4 Size Classical Acoustic Guitar

I bought this for my son's 7th birthday. He's been watching me play guitar and has lately told me that he wants to play too. I think this will be fine for him to figure out if he wants to go further.

First off, the guitar. Once I stretched out the strings, it does stay in tune mostly. The "B" string goes out much faster than the others, but that's not that big a deal. There are areas of the finish aruond the sound hole that aren't finished well and parts of the fretboard that aren't look rough. Despite this, the frets are smooth to the edge of the neck and isn't rough for my boy's hands. Notes sound correct up till the 9th fret or so- far more than he's going to need. If you don't look at it too closely, it looks like a real guitar. For the most part it even sounds like one.

The bag- its a nylon bag with handles and it is possible to carry the guitar in it if your child were to take it to a lesson. It is a bit difficult to get the guitar out of the bag...Read more

My son couldn't quite fit with our full-size guitar. He began saving for his own. This was the perfect guitar for him. I was so impressed with 1) how extremely FAST it shipped to us (and he was glad he didn't have to wait too long after buying it). 2) How nice the guitar is...it's prettier than the pictured guitar here. 3) It comes with a bag. 4) It is affordable. 5) It has a very nice sound to it. It did take a while to tune it, but it's staying tuned easier as we've had it a few months now. It really is the perfect size for my 7 year old...and he'll use it for a few years *at least* before he needs a full size. I couldn't be happier with the price, the purchse, the seller, the instrument!!

Got this for my 8 yo. It's a little too big for him, but I am playing it now. My old guitar is steel string. I like the nylon strings on this guitar. It stays in tune, sounds nice and seems to be very solidly constructed.
