With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.

Really great- but with one flaw
This guitar is great looking and the perfect size for both kids and adults with shorter arms/smaller hands.

The sound is really excellent. Has nice, deep tones, which surprised me given the size and price- but it really does sound good.

My only complaint (and the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is that it doesn't appear that you can attach a strap to it (no knob at the bottom end)- which is a problem. (Though if someone has this same model and has figured out how to use it with a strap, let me know- maybe I'm just overlooking the obvious.... it's been known to happen)

Small People, This Is Your Beginner Guitar
I wanted to give a review to represent the other little people out there - petite adults! I'm 4'11 and got a full-sized Yamaha dreadnought when I was a teenager. Needless to say, I did not grow into it. The Yamaha always felt awkward and not fun to play despite taking guitar lessons a couple of times. Fifteen years later, I decided to get past my pride and advice on forum saying all players need to get used to a full-sized guitar anyway and bought a smaller-scaled guitar. While waiting for this guitar to get delivered, I also bought beautiful 7/8-scaled Jay Turser JTA-410Q from Guitar Center. Here's my comparison of the 2 guitars since I got the Playmate today:

Jay Turser - It is beautiful in an teal-ish blue sunburst (not navy) and looks well made. However, it is heavier and the sound does not match it's appearance. The sound is not bright enough to me and not impressive.

Dean Playmate - Looks cheaply made: paint job a little sloppy in some little areas...
Perfect for dorms
I bought this scaled down guitar for my daughter when she entered college this fall. It's a perfect size, great color, and the sound is pretty good for an affordable guitar.
