LOL, this thing must be made of popsicle sticks! But you're right, smashing it over things would create a nice dramatic effect, or maybe you could hang it up as a decoration or something. As a guitar, it's probably worthless. :)

it's interesting that the design of the guitar indicates that it's a classical guitar..
but the description states that it has steel strings.

well... i've seen guitars with this combination... classical head with steel strings..
but it'd be interesting to see if this was done on purpose or... if they just slapped on some steel strings to a classical guitar.

Hmmm....looks like my friends Yamaha. The only place his says "Yamaha" on it is right on the neck, where one would hold it before they smashed it into a wall. I'm feeling a prank coming on :D

yea that's an interesting combo - steel strings on a classical style guitar. it is possible, but if you put steel strings on most classical guitars it usually screws up the tension.

"Good for .... old pros"? C'mon, I have a feeling anyone who has a halfway decent guitar would despise playing that guitar. Although I guess for $20, it can't be too bad.

Speaking of which....why on earth does media play sell guitars?

maybe they're trying start-up in the guitar industry and need to promote their hi-quality guitars....... : | (trying hard not to laugh)

Anyone notice that the tools on this board are freaking cheap??? I mean a 12V cordless drill with battery is 20 bux? Reciprocating saw is 50 bux? I mean, granted, they're not Dewalt, or some real brand, but anyone have any experience with these tools?

A local hardware store (Buena Park Lumber) gets these occasionally for $20. My father-in-law bought one. Not bad sound. Replace the steel strings with nylon though. The bridge isn't strong enough for the steel ones they put on there.
