Quiet chord practice and toughens up the fingertips
I'm amazed at some of the negative reviews here for this item. This is not an instrument. It's not a mini guitar, it's not tuneable, you can't strum or play it. You don't get that for seven quid.This is a 6-fret piece of guitar neck with some strings on it. It's for practicing chord shapes and fretting, that's it. I bought it so I'd be able to sit down in the evening and quietly continue practicing chord changes without turning into a complete recluse, or driving the rest of my family around the bend.It's helped to toughen up my fingertips and made a real difference with chord changes.Out of the box, it's quite a neat thing. The cover slides back and exposes the fretboard and strings. The string tension on some strings was too tight, and too loose on the others, but it comes with a key to adjust the tension. Again, tension, not tuning. It's not an instrument.The cover sits in place to make it longer which gives it a more guitar-like feel, and easier to hold.The action is too high for my liking, and not adjustable. I tried filing the slots out a little with a needle file, but there's not enough spare string to unwind and restring it. I've decided to just put up with it.Fret edges are a bit sharp, but again, it was seven quid.I've put a set of fret stickers on mine so I can see which notes I'm "playing" when I'm making up the chords or practicing a scale. It's a neat little device and I'm quite pleased with it overall.

BUY IT FOR WHAT IT IS
This is a fantastic little item for practicing when it's not practical to carry a guitar. My daughter uses one in between lessons at college.HOWEVERThis is not a mini guitar, and doesn't sound like one - it's not designed to be. If that's what you want, don't buy this and leave crap reviews like some people have.

Cheap and useful practice tool.
OK I'm a beginner on guitar first off, I've read reviews on this item and surprised at £7 some people are expecting a tuneable playable 'mini guitar'🤔 lol.This is as far as I can tell a very useful tool to practice finger placement for Chords, doing finger exercises on and toughening your finger tips.It is plastic and as said once you tighten strings the cover won't go on properly. Not sure how long before it breaks but for now it's helping me practice without guitar.

Description is very misleading!
I let my daughter order this without really looking into it. Like most who grumble about this She thought it would be playable. It’s obviously not, and she has not picked it up again since it arrived. I guess it’s okay if you really must and or are happy to practice in silence. If not, don’t bother. Also calling it a “mini wooden pocket guitar” is very misleading and suggests it can be played.

Terrible intonation if you strum it
I obviously didn’t think this through properly before buying one - it’s completely unstrumable because the scale length is totally wrong. Therefore all you can do is practice finger position because if you do strum it it will sound awful.

Good for keeping calloused fingers when travelling
I bought this as I travel for work and can’t take guitars. It sounds terrible, but I bought it for keeping tips of fingers calloused. It’s okay for practicing chord shapes to.

Handy to practise but strings broke after three days of use.
It's a good idea. But badly made. Strings broke on day three. To be clear this doesn't make any noise, it should only be used to practise chords.

You get what you pay for!, so don’t waste your money!.
When you first get it, you have to tighten the strings, but then you cannot close it!, as the screws catch on the inside of the plastic cover, & make it impossible to slide back down!.
