First Act Child's Guitar = Cheap Travel Guitar



I was in Asheville NC a week back, and ended up at a really run down flea market. I was about to give up when I ran across a child's acoustic guitar. It was made in China, pretty cheap -- but steel frets -- for what it was -- I was able to play it well enough. First Act is well known for making inexpensive guitars -- and this is no exception -- $30.00 retail.

I bought it for $5.00, it's missing a string so I will end up spending more on new strings than I paid for the guitar -- but I am fine with that. Nice travel size guitars are pretty expensive, but this guitar can be found for $20.00 on ebay. I would definitely not buy one as a first guitar (get a nylon string Yamaha student guitar) but for someone that already plays, and wants something to drag along on camping trips -- this fits the bill quite well. I really like mine.
