How high is the string action? Would it be easy for a beginner to use?

This perfect for a beginner. As I have learned about the pick-ups. Get Fender Squier instead...I just picked one up for $30 put new strings and tuned it up. It Sound like new $300 guitar...xcheck out craigslist in your area. be surprise on the deals U find...action should be 4/64th on high and low strings. check the videos on youtube...

Yes indeed it be easy to use. I'd suggest switching strings a couple months in. I did although not perfect it works, I think the gauge on them is 9 so I went with 9.5. It's really good for me and I just started learning in march. Plus I bought a fender mustang 1 amp, because the included amp does not have presets which make the guitar sound even better. It's a must for the price and you won't be disappointed. Hope this helped.

Who knows?I guess it's a bit like the question,"How high is up?" Seriously,it all depends on the skill of the person.I wouldn't be the least it prized if an expert could hit 15 seconds,or even more.Definately it'll sleep long enough to do string tricks,a great improvement from YoYo's of old.Let me know if you get a good answer to your question.Jerry

I think this is a reasonably priced decent Ukelele for beginers. I got one for my teenage son and he has learned a lot on it and seems to enjoy it. Of course like most things you can get a top of a line instrument with added features and all the bells but if you are just trying to learn it and see if you enjoy playing a Ukelele, this is a decent entry level instrument and i don't think you can go wrong with it.

I play in a string band and it handles my fiddle (high end) and our stand up bass (low end) just fine. Not sure how that low B will be. It's a solid tuner. Our guitar players have Boss tuners and they are switching to the Korg.

I would recommend Medium tension when starting out. Here is a good explanation as relates to the sound of these three string gauge-tension types: http://www.johnsonstring.com/strings-gauges-tensions.htm#middle

The smaller the gauge, the thinner the strings are. Usually, people refer to them as "9s, 10s, 11s and sometimes 12s." That refers to the high E string (the smallest one) at 0.009mm thick, 0.10mm thick, 0.11mm etc... If you're a beginner, 9s will be the easiest to play, but you may be better off using 10s right from the start so you can build up some strength. But you don't want playing to be uncomfortable. To be honest, the best way to learn and to gain finger strength would be by playing acoustic guitar

I'm sorry .. Idk how to measure that? .. If you tell me I can get out the tape measure .. I can tell you at 5'2, or 6 feet it is comfortable .. I wouldn't say that this is a starter guitar for a child, but for an adult or bigger child ..

as my son has grown, its easier for him to play. I wouldnt say the action is particularly high. he is learning to play closer to the fret bar to eliminate buzz

This is a steel string model. I bought it for my 17 year old sister with tiny hands. I almost wanted to keep it myself. A trip to the shop for set up will help any minor issues.

Look up stringing a horsebow on yt. I use the step over method. It's hard as hell to string. You better be 1 strong mofo lol.

The other tip I want to offer.. If your buying this dont buy the pre-cut string make your own.. I bought a spool of low noise twisted commercial grade line.. I pre-cut 4 pieces when I am edging so if you loose string its a quick change.. The string is 130 -@ 150 ft. Cuts very nice and edges wonderfully.. You also don't need 4 pieces of string I only use 2 at a time... Good luck...

I have a hard time with stringer. But I'm old and weak. I may not be the best judge. Good Luck!!

In my opinion, it is the perfect bored for beginners, especially for the price. You're not going to find a better board at this price point. I learned on this one myself and it's still fantastic when I do more advanced things one its

Yes, it is. If you buy this, just don't pull the string too aggressively!!!

I don't know. I took the strings off and used it for a decorative piece of art. I glued jewelry all over the guitar, and it turned out beautiful. But it seems like it would be an OK guiitar for a beginner.

I also had a long bow and string length of 4 inches shorter seemed to work.I was not concerned with the string tension. Hope this helps

Action is how hard you have to press the strings . This guitar is pretty easy I would say it's medium to low action, it's beginner friendly for sure, I have never played before and I was able to play pretty much straight out of the box.. Hope this helped :)
