Old world craftsmanship? Not really. But a good starter package, nice gift.
I bought this pack as a gift for a friend's child who has shown interest in playing the guitar. Of course, I needed to check it out before passing it along... Inside the gift box, you get a ? size "classical" (nylon-string) acoustic, a slip cover, tuner and course book with 2 CDs (software and music) and a certificate. The learning materials look approachable (book and software, plus a certificate of accomplishment). Alfred has a solid reputation in the educational arena; I haven't dug in to the materials too deeply, so I will focus on the instrument and accessories for this review. The guitar itself is decent - hardly a prime example of old-world craftsmanship, but it sounds nice enough, and seems solidly built. A "gig bag" is included. Not very protective, but it'll keep the dust off. The tuner works ok, although you'll want to help your little student use it to tune the guitar and keep it in tune. The strings are nylon - a good choice for beginners with small hands and soft...

good for a child
I got this on sale for $49.99 and fro that much it's a good deal. I would not
pay the $120 that it normally sells for because it's very weak sounding and
the extras (music book, cd, and tuner) are mostly a distraction and not worth much.
Very nice guitar package
I bought this set for my daughters when it was a Gold Box deal, so the price was right. It includes an electronic tuner, DVD, a small computer program, and a soft guitar bag.
While I'm certainly no expert on guitars, I have owned a few inexpensive acoustics. The hardware on this guitar is the best of that bunch. No sharp edges on the frets (those pretty much ruin the experience), and the finish is nice. The guitar as a whole feels more solid than I expected. There are no pegs for a strap.
At 3/4 size it's still a bit too big for my girls (8 and 5), but they don't seem to mind.
The DVD is great. Small, easily completed lessons (handily cut up into individual chapters) by a pleasant enough teacher. Get through the whole thing, and you feel like you have moved forward. The computer program is very small - it looks like it has been around since the MS-DOS days, and at 640x480 it is a bit smallish on the screen. But it includes a nice little tuning...
