## Description

1/2 Size Nylon String Guitar

Review: great product - I began researching guitars when my son asked for one for Christmas. I found a lot of "toy" guitars but review after review said that they wouldn't stay in tune or didn't work well. I ended up purchasing this guitar and it's wonderful. It has a nice sound to it, stays in tune well and is basically a real guitar that's half size as opposed to a toy guitar. The one thing I would caution you about is that this guitar is truly 1/2 size, so it's not meant for little-little kids. It's a perfect guitar for a 7 or 8 year old but it's too big for kids under that age.
Review: A nice entry nylon guitar - Been playing electric for a decade, wanted to try out a nylon for some time but didn't want to approach what I've spent on my electric setup. Totally worth it. Sounds really good for $120. Good quality too. I bought it with an eye to my daughters future, so when she gets a little older she can learn on the smaller size while I play along with my full size Alvarez. Really easy action, and to all you people who say it doesn't stay in tune, thus is the nature of nylon strings. And honestly it only ever goes slightly flat after hours of play. Sounds good in alt tunings, I've taken it to drop C tuning and it sounds just as good as E standard and everything in between.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great product
*by A***N on December 18, 2010*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nice entry nylon guitar

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing fun little guitar!
*by K***S on April 16, 2026*

I've played guitar for decades and have found this is the perfect little travel / practice guitar. I usually grab this over my more expensive guitars. It's just fun to play and sounds good. It's great to write music on. Pros: * Harp-like tone (nylon) * Near-zero hand fatigue. I can play this for hours. Nylon strings are thicker and lower tension. Small scale is lower tension. * The nut width is about the same as a Strat or Les Paul. * Relatively inexpensive. Cons: * As with any nylon string guitar (1) it takes about a week after changing strings for the tuning to stabilize. (2) And don't expect to bend notes very much.
