Customer Reviews

Great Toy
My son became obsessed with the guitar after watching daddy play guitar hero. He's only 2 1/2 but he loves this toy and can not put it down. I like the fact that it doesn't have strings which makes it very easy for him to strum and to push on the frets. The band mode is my son's favorite because it plays music and lets him play along. The only thing it doesn't have that my son has asked for is a whammy bar attachment.

It's also a nice touch that the volume on it goes to 11. Speaking of volume I'd like to buy the amp that comes with it but my wife won't let me. My son and I are both very happy with this toy.

Rock on!
My 8 yr old wanted a guitar for Xmas and this seemed to be perfect due to its price. I was right...it's fun to play and teaches the most basic of hand movements for the frets. If you want to learn to play with all the correct finger movements and notes, this is not the toy for you. On this guitar, the notes are in the approximate, not exact, areas. However, if you want to begin learning guitar the easiest possible way, or just to see if you like it enough to spend real money on a real guitar, this is good enough. Sound is fair...the amp to go with it really pumps it up and gives the music some body so I recommend that to go with this. It's a bit small for a teen or adult, but perfect for younger kids. The volume level is bearable and if you like classic rock, you'll find yourself humming along to the built in songs. All in all, a good buy and lots of fun for budding musicians!

FUN FUN FUN !!!
Purchased for my 11 year old son. He could not put it down once opened.
You can play in different modes. My son would start with with learning mode. The guitar came preloaded with 12 songs that can be choosen by touching the flashing frett button. He would learn the cords and then practice on jam mode and once he had it down he would go to band mode and play it with the backround music. He just loves it!! I also tried playing and found it to be quite fun myself. Great for just playing around or actually learning the songs that are preloaded on the guitar.
I would definately recommend this to any parent who has a "rock star" wish list.
