Initially I'd intended to leave checking the guitar until the day after because it arrived late Saturday evening. However, something kept niggling at me to take a look and I'm really glad I did. On opening the box I was happy with the efforts taking to protect the item but that's where my excitement stopped. When I took the guitar out I was shocked by how light it really was and when I ran my finger tips over the strings they felt shape, which concerned me about the fact my nieces little fingers could get cut from same. The strings were also quite loose and as such they could come away from the actual anchoring points on the guitar body, which is quite thin. Another issue was the fact that the so called 'lovely sound' it's supposed to make, which is supposed to encourage your child's creative imagination, was nothing more than a repeating of a flat C chord in 3 different pitches. Believing it was perhaps the batteries I changed them for brand new ones and all this did was increase the noise it made badly, especially when applying the imitation 'pickup paddle'. There was no demo songs or chords played and the 3 white knobs around the on off switch are there for so called decoration but look flimsy and could therefore easily come off, which may be the chocking hazards mentioned in description.Knowing how disappointed I was at the item I decided to return it because this was for my 5 year old niece who would be really upset if she'd received that item, which is just a nicely coloured toy and nothing more. It certainly isn't worth the price being asked and as I told Amazon I could and have bought a playable guitar from Ebay, which she will love.Very little options to it and sounds very tinny. Very lightweight and looks like it won’t last very long.Saying all that my my son was very happy with it and which kids plays more than a few weeks with something anyhow so for the price it was good.If you want a toy that just looks like a guitar then this would suit you.It has metal guitar strings that are dangerous for children, they are not tuned and you cannot make any form or music from this guitar.It has 2 buttons that play a crappy guitar rift when pressed.My daughter was so disappointed with this as a gift.Good value for money but not a real guitar for playing....great for a toy but you cant tune the strings..... so if you want an instrument to teach your child how to play the guitar I would go for a childs accoustic guitar instead ?Perfect for my little girl. Arrived on time. Good protective packaging. Everyone wants to pick it up to try the rocking demo :)
