After last post about this brand, I really wasn't sure what to buy for my teens who are learning in school and want to practice at home. I get the whole "buy a nicer guitar for a better playing experience so they'll stick with it" idea, but I also just wanted something they could play and see if they want to go to a nicer guitar in time.

I ended up taking the risk and buying one of these on the comment that it wasn't a toy guitar- we have one of those and it's pretty crappy.

This guitar came yesterday and I just got done goofing around on it with my kids. It's not wood, seems like a plastic material (may be in the listing what it is EDIT: per another poster it's laminated wood- a bunch of thin layers of wood glued together), but it seems like a great guitar for practicing and for beginners. I enjoyed playing with it and the kids really like it too.

I'm very pleased with it and am glad I bought it.

Buy the guitar, buy a cheap wall-mounted guitar hanger:

For $70 you could buy things far less interesting to hang on your wall than a guitar. :-)

Looks like a pretty straightforward first time guitar. Does anyone has a recommendation for online guitar lessons? I'm looking to get this as a gift.

Are these guitars any good as a casual practice guitar?

Who knows? You have to get it in your hands to know. At this price, I would expect difficult action, and fair sound. You have to start somewhere. At $59, it's worth the risk. Check the return, refund policy. It's probably better than the guitar I started on.

I have one and use it for exactly that purpose. So far, no complaints.

If you get this guitar, especially if you're a novice, do yourself a favor and take it to a guitar tech for a setup. It might cost as much as the guitar itself, but they'll be able to make it easier and more comfortable to play (assuming it's got a functional truss rod and halfway decent fretwork/neck set).

Yep, I don't like the mentality of "buy a cheap guitar and see if you like it" a cheap guitar can make or break the whole experience for a bwginner
