I give the wooden guitar an A for an adult collector, B for a child.
It is very nice, but I understand why AG switched it to plastic. Although my daughter's is fine, may other people have had broken tuning pegs and/or strings. If you are giving it to a girl, the plastic one is a better bet.
My daughter has both the wooden version and the newer plastic one as well. The wooden one does not have any of the crazing that others are complaining about- the quality is great.
Side by side, they look almost identical, except, obviously, for the color of the ribbons. The wooden one has a burgundy one which is quite a bit longer so that you can tie a bow where it meets the head of the guitar. The plastic one has a salmon-pink one which matches her birthday dress quite well-in fact it is almost identical to the color of the hair ribbon for her spring gown.
Another difference is that the wooden version had the ability to turn the tuning pegs while the plastic one they are fixed.
I have to say that neither looks "cheap" to me, they both appear to be quality construction.
