good for a child,
I got this on sale for $49.99 and fro that much it’s a good deal. I would not
pay the $120 that it normally sells for because it’s very weak sounding and
the extras (music book, cd, and tuner) are mostly a distraction and not worth much.

Old world craftsmanship? Not really. But a good starter package, nice gift.,
I bought this pack as a gift for a friend’s child who has shown interest in playing the guitar. Of course, I needed to check it out before passing it along… Inside the gift box, you get a ¾ size “classical” (nylon-string) acoustic, a slip cover, tuner and course book with 2 CDs (software and music) and a certificate. The learning materials look approachable (book and software, plus a certificate of accomplishment). Alfred has a solid reputation in the educational arena; I haven’t dug in to the materials too deeply, so I will focus on the instrument and accessories for this review. The guitar itself is decent – hardly a prime example of old-world craftsmanship, but it sounds nice enough, and seems solidly built. A “gig bag” is included. Not very protective, but it’ll keep the dust off. The tuner works ok, although you’ll want to help your little student use it to tune the guitar and keep it in tune. The strings are nylon – a good choice for beginners with small hands and soft fingers, but expect to do a lot of tuning in the first day or two as the strings stretch out a little and settle in. Overall, a nice value for the money, and suits its purpose well.
