Great little started guitar kit. Worth the price.
It's a great starter guitar and amp. My son is six. It fits him perfectly. The guitar seems to be made well and no rough edges like I saw in a lot of other reviews. The anp plays sound through it lol. That's about it. You get wjat you pay for and for a started kit its perfect. Oh I didn't get any pics but that's ok for me I have plenty.

Good Mini-Guitar Value Package for younger kids to gauge interest without breaking the bank....
The media could not be loaded. I bought this guitar as a gift for my friend's 4 year old daughter who has expressed interest in guitar. I've been playing guitar for over 20 years so I wanted to get a guitar package that was appropriately sized, not completely shoddy like some of the beginner guitars I remember learning on, and budget-minded. I say budget-minded because at that age I realize this guitar can likely end up just being a toy or prop (or lose interest all together) so you wouldn't want to spend too much on something nicer, say a Squire Mini. Also, although the Squire Mini is a smaller 3/4 scale guitar intended for kids, I feel it is still too large for my friends daughter.I bought the Surf Green ST 30-inch guitar package. I've included a photo of it next to some of my other guitars to show the size difference. Everything appeared to be included with the package (strap, bag, picks, amp) but I did not open any of those items since it is a gift. Refer to other reviewers comments for the accessories. I only took the guitar out to make sure it is set up as good as it can be.For the money, overall I am satisfied with the guitar. As others have mentioned, the tuners are imprecise and the slightest turn can make it hard to dial in the tuning, but not unexpected on a budget guitar. Some of the frets stick out as well that need addressed, but this can even happen on more expensive guitars.The biggest hurdle with this guitar, and generally any beginner guitar, is tuning stability and intonation. As other reviews have mentioned it can be difficult to stay in tune. Here is what I did to help alleviate this.1) I installed thicker strings. The guitar comes with ~9s (9-42 strings). If you plan to keep them on there, you should tune the guitar sharp as recommended in the one product picture. A standard tuned guitar is E A D G B E, so you would tune it up a a step to say F# B E A C# F#. I preferred to put on thicker strings (10-46 strings) so I could put it in standard tuning and make it easier for playing along with songs.2) Lubricated all the string contact points. This includes the string trees on the headstock, the nut, and the bridge saddles. I used a pencil for the nut slots and then applied a little vaseline with a q tip.3) Adjust the bridge saddles so they are level. Changing string gage you have to intonate the guitar. I noticed that the bridge saddles were somewhat loose in the sense they would shift left to right, which greatly affects tuning stability. On mine, some of the bridges weren't level so I adjusted the string height and then ensured they were level. The low E string I may need to trim the screw for the saddle as it started to go into the string as I was intonating. You can hear it sounds a little off in the video when I play the two lower power chords, but I didn't want to address that until the guitar sat a few days and the strings settled in.Overall that all helped tuning stability. But still not as good as say my Charvels with the string locking Floyd Rose.One other final note, in another review I noticed the TL guitar has a truss rod adjustment hole on the headstock. This guitar does not have that. It's possible there is an adjustment by removing the neck but I did not check nor have the need to do that.THE FINAL VERDICT:So overall if you are looking to get a mini-guitar (30 inches long) for a younger child this isn't a bad option, and any of the other options on Amazon will likely have similar issues. However, for older kids that you think will maintain some level of interest, and don't mind spending a little more, you might be better off going with a slightly larger 3/4 scale guitar if it fits them. If you are a seasoned guitar player this isn't a bad guitar to have around for the lulz. I've included a video, but note that THIS IS NOT THE SOUND YOU WILL GET FROM THE INCLUDED AMP. I PLUGGED INTO MY EXPENSIVE GUITAR AMP.

FANTASTIC BARGAIN!
I am very pleased with this purchase. Make no mistake, this is no "toy" guitar. I am impressed with the build quality and the sound of this guitar and I am sure my grandkids will love it. Came pre-strung, which was a bonus and the extra set of strings, picks, gig bag, and amp are a tremendous value for the money.

Perfect Gift
Purchased this guitar for my son's birthday, and he is still going strong with it. My only concern is the amplifier could be of better quality, but for what it is, it gets the job done until I get him another. The guitar looks great and when properly tuned, sounds awesome! I highly recommend it as a great value for money, and it feels and plays really well.

Not a guitar of use for much of anything. I would not recommend this for anyone!
Not sure what guitar others bought that they thought were so good! The guitar I received had (has) several issues. First it is totally unusable in standard tuning (intonation is off and it does not stay in tune). The neck has no truss rod or reinforcement so intonation at normal pitch is impossible! Tuning up to G (1 1/2 steps) helps a lot with the intonation but it still rends to go out of tune easily (I am pretty sure it is the fact the neck flexes a lot). The fret ends are terribly ruff ( I would not want a child using this as is). I filed the ends properly. The bridge has holes for a "string-thru" setup but it is not (I did drill holes to so I could do this with my new set of strings) a "string-thru" guitar! The accessories are a joke! The amp hums like crazy.I have been playing guitar for over 60 years and this has to be the worst guitar I have ever had my hands on. If major issues in my life had not detracted me from checking this guitar out properly when it arrived I would have returned it. As it is I upgraded the tuners (had some from a guitar project), put a gold foil pickup in it (I had from another project) and decorated the pickgaurd. It looks cool. and sounds a lot smoother.This is not something I would give someone wanting to learn to play guitar! Find a real guitar for them!
