So everyone will know. Yes, these are small, but they are REAL guitars. They actually sound pretty good for their size. I've worked on several of them, gave them custom paint jobs and the like. Some of them, are actually pretty amazing on how much sound they can put out. However, for youngsters, rather than steel strings, I highly recommend Lyon Student Nylon strings. They don't put out quite as much sound with nylon strings, but they're much easier on young fingers, they don't hurt the young fingers, and thus the guitar will get played more.
Oh, you can get the lyon student strings from Musician's friend. They're also very reasonably priced, and if you catch a free shipping deal, they're really affordable.
No problem. I don't have enough points right now, or I'd be all over it. They're a good value, and a decent guitar, so long as one knows how to set them up right.
