For The Future Rock Star
Meet The Electric Loog. This fun little instrument with big serious sound is cute and small, but it's not a toy: it's a real guitar made out of real wood, that allows you to play chords and any song. The guitar ships unassembled so kids and parents can build it together. It's an experience that helps children bond with the instrument and also with their parents. Let the music play on!
