I'm loving this guitar! It's lighter than I expected and comfortable to play. I had trouble playing bar chords on my old acoustic guitar, but they're much easier on this one.

I'm loving this guitar! It's lighter than I expected and comfortable to play. I had trouble playing bar chords on my old acoustic guitar, but they're much easier on this one. Also, I like being able to rock out without making that much noise (useful when living in an apartment with a husband who occasionally works from home), either by playing it unplugged or plugging headphones into the amp (NOTE: you need a specific kind of headphone/cable in order to plug it into this amp. So you should either invest in a nice pair of headphones, or in a different amp; I'm doing the latter)
The amp buzzes a bit and makes odd noises but I'm willing to bet that it's because I don't know how to use it well enough yet. Also, the strap it came with is comfortable, but feels a little loose, like it might unhook from the guitar. That didn't actually happen, but it still made me nervous enough to swap it for my old strap.
Overall, though, perfect for beginners, definitely get one for your kid if they're interested. Or for yourself as a hobby. I love my old acoustic and it's served me well, but man I wish I'd gotten an electric sooner!
