ROCK

Don’t worry about it not being professionally set up or having a little fret buzz. This little baby is the pen to fill out the application to rock school. My five year old daughter rocks like murder on this pink axe, yours will too.

Excellent product.

Fast shipping! Excellent product.

This little pink strat rocks!

Perfect size for our 9 y.o. daughter. Her father is teaching her how to play and it is a great first guitar to learn the basics on. Her dad learned to play on a Fender Strat so he is enjoying watching her learn on one too.

Change the strings and oil it....

First off, mine came with an unfinished neck and residue on the fretboard....no big deal...remove the strings, clean the fretboard with F-one oil....took a few times over to get it nice. I even used the oil on the rest of the neck and it made the wood pop.....polished the rest.....looks fantastic! Put a set of Ernie Ball .09 on it and it sounds fantastic! I bought this out of curiosity as I own several regular guitars....this thing is fun to play and sounds pretty good for what it is.....young kids will luv it if you prep it well and give it a fresh set of strings.....have fun!

For real guitar players, this isn't a toy!

Amazingly playable. This little guitar is very, very good and not at all a toy if you are looking for a smaller-scale guitar. Take the time to change the factory strings -- 09s are perfect, 10s are actually not needed despite the shorter scale -- and let them stretch out overnight when you first get the guitar. Intonation and truss were perfect right out of the box. I did need to adjust the action upward a bit for the lighter strings, and I had to lightly sand the frets and put some lemon oil on the fretboard to get smooth bends without resistance. It has that classic strat "bell tone", though maybe lacks all of the sustain of its big brother (but doesn't lack by much). Pickups are ok, perhaps a tad too hot, but still able to go from sweet clean to super hot. Adjusting volume and pick-up height seems to do the trick. The more I play it, the more amazed I get. Neck is just a tad narrower than a standard (40.9mm versus 43mm), so you'll notice your fingers crowd a bit more than on a full size, but this is more than made up for by the extra fret reach you'll gain from the shorter scale length. I have only two quibbles: The first is the top-loading bridge. It makes changing strings a hellish experience trying to thread them up through the saddles. (Whoever thought of a top loading bridge needs to be shot.) The other quibble is that despite appearances, the tuners are not standard Fender, so you can't swap them for Fender locking tuners -- I found this out the hard way. I may put some Planet Waves on the guitar, but I'd need to drill some holes to do it. I'm also debating drilling through-the-body string holes and replacing the bridge, but I'm not sure now whether the hard tail bridge is standard dimensions. But all of these are quibbles --- As is, this guitar rocks! EDIT: So I did modify by adding a Gotoh string-through bridge, drilled string holes through the body, and added Planet Waves locking tuners. Tone and playability are about the same, but tuning stability is greatly improved. I finally settled on using 10 gauge strings for a more solid feel akin to a regular scale guitar. All short scale guitars like this will have tuning issues with the G and B strings -- probably some obscure, immutable law of physics is involved -- but for the most part it stays close. My Ibanez Mikro has the same issue. I dunno if all the mods were worth it, but it sure makes string changes 1000% easier.

Awesome Sound for the $

Great guitar for the grandkids. Small size for small people. I lowered the string action and plugged it into an old Fender Deluxe amp. Tone was impressive. Guitar has a 5 position toggle that mimics the pro models. Volume and tone pots were very quiet. I suppose getting a lemon is possible with mass produced instruments. The one I purchased is awesome. I am a professional musician and needed to keep expensive guitars out of the naturally clumsy hands of grandkids who are fascinated with them. They now have their own and will get lessons.

My 8 year old loves it.

We bought a cheaper one on Amazon but it sounded distorted, so we returned it and got this one at the guitar teachers suggestion and we have been very happy with it.

Good Quality Instrument

Definitely not a toy. Perform a quick set up (truss rod, action, fresh strings) and this is a good sounding, good playing child-sized guitar.

A cool guitar... Controller!

My neighbor picked up one of these as a Christmas gift for his kid, and asked me if I'd "tune" it for him. He left it with me for a week, during which I did a complete setup on it. I removed the string trees and installed some graphite in the nut grooves, which helped it stay in tune, intonated it, set the action and pickup height, and by Christmas that kid had one sweet little axe! Full-on Strat sounds, stock! Needless to say, I fell in love with it, so I bought one for myself and tricked it out with custom pickups, knobs, locking tuners, etc. I love short-scale guitars - they take a little getting used to, but they make BIG string bends so much fun. And this guitar turned out to be the perfect candidate for the Fishman Triple Play wireless MIDI system, so now it has become my guitar controller for soft synths, samplers, whatever... With a little bit of work, this "toy" guitar can become a seriously fun part of your regular playing.

Perfect guitar for kids

Perfect guitar for my 6 year old son. I also play it sometimes.
