Austin Bazaar Kid's Black Electric Guitar Set with Amp

Childrens Toy Shop > Musical Instruments > Stringed Instruments
from: Austin Bazaar


This is probably the closest thing to a real electric guitar for my 8 year old at a much more reasonable price. It comes with an amplifier, extra strings and picks and sounds terrific. It is sturdy and I can tell will last much longer than the cheaper 19.95 toy guitars of which my son has gone through a bout 3 already.
Only problem is it does not come with the cord to connect the guitar with the amplifier which you'll need to buy separately. Not a big deal.

Fender Starcaster Strat Pack - 3-Tone Sunburst

from: Fender Starcaster

August 01, 2008

Its just amazingly perfect for playing at home!!

It includes everything. And I mean everything that you might need. Its not even mentioned in the product description that a headset is also included! Which is totally what I needed as I play it for hours and hours and I should not be disturbing others. Amp is cool, its loud enough for home use. It has Bass and Treble effects as well which is very cool. A guitar stand is also included which makes it easy to keep the guitar when not in use.

About the guitar itself, it needed a bit of tuning when I took it out of the box, but that was again very easy with the chromatic tuner provided. After that tuning its just been sounding inch perfect!

Dean Playmate 1/2 Size Mini Acoustic

Childrens Toy Shop > Musical Instruments > Stringed Instruments
from: Dean Guitars

June 10, 2008
I bought this guitar for my little girl knowing it was a low end instrument. I do not have a complaint about the materials or fit/finish. I knew what I was getting. The problem I have with this guitar is that the fret calculations used were off, so that the guitar does not fret accurately. For example, I can tune it up, and it holds a tune for a while. If I fret a D on the B string, it is not a D. This makes the instrument o.k. for play time, but not very good for learning basics of guitar.

from: VIOLINSMART.com


OKAY THIS THING IS EXTRMELY BEAUTIFUL, IVE BEEN PLAYING VIOLIN FOR 7 YEARS NOW, AND SHOULD HAVE KNOWN TO STICK WITHMY ACOUSTIC, I GUESS I GET WHAT I PAID FOR. MY FIRST TIME GETTING IT THE ELECTRONICS DID NOT WORK AT ALL, AND I HAD A PAGEANT SO THAT WAS VERY UPSETTING. THE STRINGS WERE POPPING LEFT TO RIGHT AND THE BRIDGE IS WAY TO BIG, MY ADVICE IF YOU WANT TO GET AN ELECTRIC SOUND TO YOUR VIOLIN, BUY A PICKUP.

Silvertone Rockit 21 Guitar Package, Liquid Black

Childrens Toy Shop > Musical Instruments > Stringed Instruments
from: Silvertone


I bought this guitar package for my nephew and it's great. I have been playing for 15 years and find myself playing it... and liking it! Solid construction, decent sounding amp, great for beginners or seasoned veterans. We bought a Gibson version prior to this, which was more expensive and the frets were not installed well so that your fingers bled from the frets sticking out of the bottom. Not the case here. This is the Real Deal.

Cecilio CVN-100 Rosewood Full Size 4/4 Violin with Case and Accessories

Childrens Toy Shop > Musical Instruments > Stringed Instruments
from: Cecilio


As a violin player for most of my life I consider this the worst violin I've ever used. If i was able to give it 0 stars I would. I bought this violin just need up my skills for a little while because my violin was too expensive too ship from another country. After receiving this violin it had many many problems. the strings are too close to the finger board you aren't able to play any notes without the notes sounding horrible. The bridge doesn't totally touch the violin base, so you aren't able to even play the right notes when you actually are. The neck wasn't straight and the area where the string was connected to the pecks was too narrow, so you aren't able to even tune the string right without untuning the other strings. The wood on the bow wasn't straight, there were a lot of horse hairs ... Read More:

Washburn Steel String Travel Acoustic Guitar

Childrens Toy Shop > Musical Instruments > Stringed Instruments
from: Washburn

June 02, 2008
I bought this guitar to practice fingering for jazz/folk/fingerstyle guitar at times and in locations when my other acoustic guitars weren't available or weren't practical to use. I considered this and the Martin Backpacker (the Baby Taylor was out of my price range), and settled on this one, and am happy with my choice.

The tiny body size offers little resonance, but the fretboard is virtually full sized, at least up through 12 frets. Given why I bought it, this was fine for what I needed, and the tiny sound has a kind of ukulele/mini-banjo/mandolin quality that isn't unpleasant. The guitar holds a tune pretty well, and isn't hard to hold if you're sitting down, especially if you use the strap. I haven't traveled with it, but it's light and the case is compact and well padded, so I wouldn't ... Read More:
