My daughter has requested a guitar for her 6th birthday bought her this:

Tuned A to A

I considered a ukulele but thought I can teach her all the proper chords on this then she'll be set when she scales up.

Looks great - are you going to tune it E to E for her, or tune it up to something like G? Edit - Nevermind, I didn’t read it properly, A to A sounds ideal.
