I bought this guitar for my 8 year old child to learn playing. Pros: 1.short scale for small children hands, 2.light weight, 3.good sound. 4. good playability Cons: 1.very small strap knobs, the strap keeps falling off, I replaced it imediately with normal ones, 2.very pointy fret ends, i filled them down with sand paper, 3.very little neck dive. Other: some setup was needed, mainly truss rod setup(it was way to tight, no neck relief, octave setup was ok, frets seem level, no buzzing with minimal neck relief, strings seem very light for such a short scale. Fit and finish is ok, better on the front of the guitar than on the back, where you can see the lines of separate wood pieces. The neck doesn't appear to be finished in any way, it looks like raw wood(could be oiled but i don't think so) , which is great for feeling when you play(depending of course of personal preference), but we will see how dirty it will get in time. The headstock is from 2 pieces of wood. All in all, OK value for money.
