The Dean Playmate JT-J acoustic guitar also comes with pearl dot inlays, sealed tuners and celluloid bindings. This is a six-string guitar that uses steel strings. This specific Playmate JT-J acoustic guitar comes in satin natural.

Quality Materials
The guitar top is the part of the instrument that most affects the sound. It is also the most delicate part of any high quality acoustic guitar. The grade and thickness of the wood used, as well as the bracing structure, have a huge impact on the instruments sound. The idea of applying an arch or curve to the top is appealing because the added strength of an arched top should allow for the use of a thinner and more lightly braced top. This is why Dean Guitars takes the care it does when making every guitar in its line.
Ideal for Travel
The Playmate JT-J acoustic guitar is ideal for travel, whether just next-door for a barbeque, down the street to a local function, or across the country. With the right case (sold separately), there isn't anywhere you can't go. The JT-J acoustic guitar is small enough to fit into overhead bins or next to you on the tour bus.
What Kind of Guitar Does Your Child Need?
Starting with an acoustic guitar is the best way to go. It is less expensive and it starts them out on the traditional way to play guitar. An acoustic guitar like the Dean Playmate JT-J is a good starting point because of its small size and solid dependability.
