We started learning the guitar about 6 months ago. The acousitc we have now is an ancient Kay that was never set up out of the box. We took it to someone who worked on it but it is still hard to play. The guy who did it said to just keep it for the vintage value. But we want to play. We sure could have a lot of fun with this guitar!! My 10 year old grandson is playing a lot with an electric he has, but we would really love to have this to pick in the evening at tv time. Good Luck to All
