Although I have purchased items on hsn and msnbc, I don't think I would buy a guitar from them. I have seen Esteban's offer several times, and for the money...it seems like a good deal What they don't tell you is what kind of wood the guitar is made from. What kind of tuners are on the neck,etc. Is top a solid piece of spruce or a laminated veneer. My guess is that Esteban can make anything sound good on that guitar...but it would sound like you know what in yours and my hands. Do yourself and your daughter a favor and checkout the acoustic Dean guitars at
www.deanguitars.com. I have a Performer DSE. Top quality for much less than I expected. Look at the performer or artist series. You can get a top quality guitar for around $200.
