Thomann Classic Guitar 1/2

Sofia, the 6-year-old great-niece of a dear friend wanted a guitar, and had the chance of lessons at school. I ruled out a full-size (too big) and a quarter-size (sounds like a ukelele). I didn't want to spend too much in case she got bored with it. This one is very well-priced, very well made and sounds surprisingly good. It's certainly good enough quality for a young beginner. She found it a bit awkward at first, but after a few hours could hold it reasonably comfortably. (And 6 year-olds get bigger!) The only adaptation I made was to put a strap button on the heel and in the centre of the rear brace, so she can use it with a strap. Together with a basic stand, music stand, carry-case, foot-rest, strap and tuner etc. it was all very reasonable - and hugely appreciated. (She's still playing btw!)
