 Why did I buy this? Jan 12, 2007
Love the color, but hate the rest of this purchase. Strings have already broken, cannot tune it at all and the case ripped already. My advice, spend a few more dollars and get a higher end guitar for your beginner.

 Poor quality, but playable if you use care Dec 09, 2005
Quality: The paint used on the guitar has pock-marks like it didn't adhere properly to the wood. The "binding" was carelessly drawn on with a sharpie pen. The frets look like they were retrieved from a junkyard - very uneven. The tuners are cheap but surpringly they don't rattle and seem to hold the strings well. The 1/2-size Dean Playmate JTJ guitars are also junky, but they are marginally better than this (and they cost less! But my daughter had to have red, so ... )
HOW TO GET GOOD SOUND, Tip #1: Do not tune this guitar to standard EADGBE tuning. Intonation is absolutely dreadful - the guitar will be in tune in the middle of the neck but out of tune everywhere else. Follow the hint you will find in the Dean JTJ guitar reviews: tune up a step and a half to G (G C F A# D G) or even A. The guitar will be higher pitched, but surprisingly it will be in tune!
HOW TO GET GOOD SOUND, Tip #2: Adults, when you play this guitar, do not put too much pressure on the strings when you fret them. Use a VERY light touch, just enough to make a clean sound. Press any more than that and you will sharp the notes! Small children shouldn't have much trouble with this as they will likely have a light touch anyway.
Bottom line: It's a $40 guitar. What do you expect? If you don't need red (or metallic, or black), get the Dean JTJ instead. Otherwise, this makes a fun little toy for a very young child (ages 3 to 8 can probably handle it adequately.)
