Great guitar for my nephew! Arrived fast and shipper was nice. Its a squire for kids basically with a cheap amp. Don't expect an amazing guitar obviously but this isn't meant to be...its just a good starter guitar for kids or people with small hands.

My son is taking guitar lessons and purchased this guitar based on his instructors recommendation. It is a very solid well built guitar for the money. It sounds good and the size is perfect for a child. The amplifier quit working in the middle of a lesson, I have reached out to the seller Austin Bazaar and he recommended a few troubleshooting steps. Once we verified that it is a faulty amp he sent a replacement right away. I do recommend the guitar and the seller for his support.

I'm an adult with small hands (middle finger is barely 3 inches long). I was convinced that I just couldn't play the guitar because I was unable to hold down any bar chords on full-sized guitars even after a few months of practice (and my mother, a professional pianist, also had to give up on the guitar for the same reason before).

I gave this Fender Mini Strat a chance and soon enough, I was able to play my first F chord. You have no idea how overjoyed I was to hear that clean sound ringing through the room!

This guitar gave me hope that I can play the instrument that I've always wanted to. I just needed a smaller guitar, and this got the job done. I got a red one and it looks amazing.

With that said, there are definitely some issues (cheap guitar, go figure). I need to tune it like every 5-10 minutes which kind of sucks, but I heard Grover Rotomatic Self Locking Machine Heads can help with that, although they're a bit pricey. The notes also get sharper as I go down the fretboard and the seller ironically had no idea what a note being sharp means, so that's rather unfortunate.

I ended up buying an Ibanez GRGM21BKN 3/4 Size Mikro here on Amazon as a second guitar (it's slightly but noticeably heavier which I prefer, and more expensive at $170 as of today), and I honestly like that one much more (sound quality, look, feels more legit and less like a toy, the back of the neck is skinnier so it feels better in my hands, and stays in tune MUCH better although the Fender seems to vary between people). But that one has humbuckers instead of single coil pickups. The Fender Mini Strat would also sometimes buzz, but my Ibanez Mikro does not.

I also paid $25 to get that one touched up for any small issues at a music shop but they said the Ibanez was in pretty good shape already. Maybe if I'd done the same for the Fender, I would still be playing it.

But for the Fender: No scratches, brand new, and fresh out the packaging. I'm a guitar noob but I think the sound quality is pretty good for what it is. Much better than the $50 3/4 acoustic I got (though I'm still partial to my Ibanez Mikro). Although I don't play this Fender much anymore, I'm very grateful for it.

Neck was loose on receipt.

Excellent
