Thats what happened to me, but if you want to buy it heres the URL.. http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Musical-Instruments-Equipment/Guitars-Equipment/Guitars/AdNumber=TP001342994?BackToResult=true <br>I have only used it once and it comes with a digital tuner so your daughter can go on the net and see what string is supposed to make what noise and so the first string is an E and then you can move the knobs at the top to change it then you strum that string and then if an E comes up on the tuner then you know you've got it or you have to keep fiddling with the knob, easy peasy. It also comes with a stand and a cover, the only thing you would need is a music stand and a pic.Mon, 05 Jan 2009 19:07:50 GMTStephBabes457/Topic2202-68-1.aspxHi Justin.....<br><br>Try a 6-string acoustic guitar, with metal, not nylon, strings. You can get "starter" packs from all good music stores and some of these are quite good brands - Ibanez, Ashton, etc. And these are priced fairly reasonably. I would also consider a teacher, rather than books, at least initially. A teacher can show her the correct left and right hand positions, different strummings etc. Maybe later she can then go to reputable books to enhance her skills.<br><br>Good luck!!!!!<br><br>Mark Grimston<br>Point Cook, VicWed, 08 Oct 2008 17:21:56 GMTwendyg01/Topic2202-68-1.aspxMy daughter (14) is suddenly keen on learning guitar. What is the best type and make for a learner? I know she is big enough for a full size, but that's about it.Fri, 12 Sep 2008 13:02:04 GMTjustin_stevens
