    Customers like the size of the guitar. For example, they say it's not too small for an average size adult, and it fits their hands perfectly.

    "Guitar was exactly what I expected. Smaller for little kits and great for starting out." Read more

    Excelente Producto
    Excelente! buscaba una guitarra cuyo tamaño fuera cómodo para niños entre 5 y 10 años. La calidad de sonido a pesar del tamaño es agradable. Los acabados y la madera se ven y se sienten muy buenos. El peso es de unas 2 libras más o menos. Lo menciono para aquellos que usan empresas de paquetería y les cobraran por libra. Este producto incluye un bolso, calidad media que por lo menos servirá para guardarla y protegerla. Recomiendo comprar uno de mejor calidad por aparte. La verdad es que compraría de nuevo este producto 100% recomendado, si necesitas viajar y llevarla es cómoda. Si quiere introducir a tus hijos en la guitarra desde pequeños es bastante útil este instrumento por sus medidas.
