Hohner HAG250P 1/2 Sized Classical Guitar

Buen tamaño, material resistenteA los niños les gusto mucho y a los adultos tambiénLlego en un tiempo excelente

This has been a great student guitar for my 7 year old who has started guitar lessons. It fits him well, it holds tune pretty well without having to constantly retune it, and it was a great price for a new instrument. I was worried if it would be like a toy guitar but it is a nice looking, little guitar. It doesn't resonate with the great sound that my husbands full size seagull guitar does, but it's small and lightweight and easy for my son to play and it doesn't sound bad either. His teacher was impressed with the guitar for the price I got on Amazon. Strings are easy to press down, he doesn't get too sore of fingers and the buzzing that comes from a guitar that is hard to get the strings pressed down against the fret board properly. I wasn't sure about this when I ordered it but because of amazons great return policies, decided to take a chance on it and am glad I did. For a young kid just getting started, this is a very nice looking, lightweight, small easy guitar to get started on but does not seem like a cheap toy guitar either.

We bought this for my sons 2nd birthday so he could play his guitar with and like Daddy. It met all our expectations and then some. We knew a "toy" guitar wouldn't cut it, and this is just a smaller version of the real thing; real looking, feeling and sounding. And so far has stood up to a very active 2 year old! Couldn't have asked for anything better. We're so thrilled.

This ended up being a children's guitar and not the pictured "folk guitar"

This is a child's guitar, so I didn't have very high expectations. The reviews capture the good and bad. This isn't going to win any significant praise for craftsmanship. But it works and sounds pretty good. The strings are going to stretch for a long time. Nylon strings will always stretch and slip a bit. Nature of the beast. Buy better strings that can handle the tighter tune this will need to sound good.You will want to tune it to A-D-G-C-E-A to play it with standard guitar notes/chords. It will take at while for the guitar to hold this tune, but it will. Better strings will help, but they aren't needed right away.The workmanship is pretty basic. There are obvious flaws in the finish, but not horrible. Nothing that impacts play. But it isn't going to win awards. The frets and fingerboard are smooth and feel good. What matters is here.My 3.5 year old son is over the moon with this. He just loves that he can bang away and daddy doesn't get upset with the bumps and drops - which shows this items true value. It's made well enough to be used by kids and it takes abuse well. 4.5 Stars when you factor the low price and durability.UPDATE: ** 2/26/15 **We continue to enjoy playing this guitar. My son has learned a bit and can play a few notes and chords -- he just really enjoys the ability to "jam" when I'm playing mine. I love the quality of this cheap guitar. It now stays in tune for as long as we don't bump the turning pegs or the weather changes drastically. Otherwise, it stays in tune rather well - with the original strings. The tone is rich for the size. Action is still easy on the hands, but maybe a tad high. Not horrible mind you. In the nearly 2 years we've owned this, it has held up very well and looks pretty darn good considering what it has been through as my 3.5 year old is now 5, and lugs this around the house with him nearly daily. He even left it out in the play house out back and had to run and get it when he remembered at bed time. He loves it enough to want to care for it, so it goes back onto the stand each day.I enjoy playing it from time to time. I'm no guitarist - I really stink - but it is fun to play classical music on this and it sounds the part. So very happy and have now pushed this to 5 stars based on the durability and quality over time. While the finish isn't anything special and the hardware is cheap - so it the price and you are getting a lot more than you are paying for in this item. Winner. Highly recommend.
