Love this guitar! I ordered the Cedar top from the previous thread along the with a black Spruce top from Amazon to compare the two.
The Cedar Top is made in China while the Spruce is Indonesia although no difference in quality, Frets were great out of the box.

I preferred the Cedar. Really nice warm tone. Sounds great strumming or fingerpicking with stock Fender strings. The dimensions are slightly different. The Black Spruce was more traditional Concert size while the Cedar from Adorama has a slightly larger rear bout but less depth. The less depth on the Cedar was more comfortable. The Cedar also has a Tusq-like material for the saddle and nut while the Spruce had plastic. This also explained why the Cedar sounded better.

I have many guitars and this little baby is my #1 acoustic to pick up when inspired. I also have a Martin Dread, which has the Big sound I need for performing & recording.
rock on,

Guitar people… what's a good guitar for a 7 year old to start with? Thanks!

3/4 size, either acoustic (Yamaha Jr1 or Jr2) or electric (Squier Mini Stratocaster). Change the strings to extra light (acoustic: D'Addario EJ10... electric: Ernie Ball super slinky). Ask their guitar instructor to do it and hopefully they can set it up (adjust neck and saddle, among other things) properly... but don't blame them if they can't because it's not a particularly easy thing to do. Find a local luthier (guitar technician) to do it.

Can you put nylon strings on these? Metal strings are tough for a beginer.

Use light or extra light strings, or maybe start on an electric guitar. A decent instrument with a proper setup and good action will overcome any difficulty metal strings bring. Gotta develop those calluses somehow.

You can sometimes get away with replacing steel strings with nylon, but guitars are built around having a certain string tension.

Can somebody who is knowledgeable enough with guitars tell me if this is worth it as a starter guitar or not? Would greatly appreciate it, thanks!

It seems to be. Anything with a solid top is a good place to start, however, all new guitars will require a "setup" upon receipt. Just take it to your local guitar shop and ask them for a "setup" to make it easier to play. Good luck!

In this day and age, I think one can do the basic setup just by watching some beginner tutorial videos on youtube. I am saying that because I have turned into a handyman and now fix everything in the house, I learned all just watching youtube videos. I believe the same may apply to handling these instruments.

Physically, yes, but should you? No. Try using acoustic strings with a lighter gauge.

You CAN, but my own experience trying this was not good. It simply produced poorer sound. You'd be better off with lighter gauge acoustic strings.

Some players report that coated strings (Elixir, etc.) are easier on the fingers. I personally think it's just something new players will have to work through. A couple of weeks of regular practice will build up calluses and accustom the player to the sensation.

I normally wouldn't blindly order a guitar online, but it's cheap enough not to matter. My initial impression is that it plays fast and comfortable, and it sounds great for the price. It will sound better the more it's played and the wood opens up, although the finish is very glossy, so it's probably pretty thick. That can limit resonance and breathability, so it may not have much room for that.

The action was a bit low and causing fret buzz, and the intonation is slightly off. It's currently at the shop for a setup, but I don't regret the purchase at all. It's a good cheap guitar to have out in the open around the house. I plan to hang it on the wall, and people can grab it and play it without worrying about it.

This is the recommended Fender case (costs almost as much as the guitar). I haven't been able to find a reliable gig bag match, and it's been difficult to verify the fit of third-party products.

Do they want acoustic or electric? The old school thought was to teach only acoustic first. However, if they kid wants to play electric, then choose the guitar they are most likely to want to play. The electric will be easier to play.


You could try one of the slightly shorter scale electrics (if that's what they want). Maybe an Ibanez Mikro [sweetwater.com]?

Not exactly. It's not a 3/4 or parlor-style guitar, but it's a bit smaller than a dreadnaught.

Thanks. I have a dreadnought now, looking for something smaller that's a little more mobile.

If thinner (rather than narrower) works for you, check out the Yamaha APX line.

This PRS parlor is on sale:

Or there's always a Little Martin or Baby Taylor.

Thanks. I may have to just go to GC and play a few. I have a little Martin and the bridge has become separated from the top. And it being a HPL top, regluing seems to be a challenge and not sure I want to drop the money for luthier to fix. I'm not the original owner, so the warranty doesn't apply to me Frown
