about 10 minutes after tuning the guitar, should the G string break. Are you kidding me, she hasn't even gotten started?!!!

I would agree with what the others are saying here. 1. Maybe she went to far (too tight) while trying to tune the string. Is she using a tuner? Or possibly, she likemy daughter who is just learning was looking at the tuner while trying to tune the G string but actually had her hand on the wrong tuning key and was turning the B string tuning key. Needless to say she broke the B string.2. I also agree that the strings that come on these guitars are not top notch strings....Change them and she'll probably be alright. Everyone has their preference for string brand/type. I like to use ELIXIR NANO-WEB LIGHT GAUGE ACOUSTIC STRINGS. They are a little pricey (approx. $15-18) a set, but they last 3-5 times longer than say a $8-10 set, and they sound really good (to me), and in addition have never broke an ELIXIR string yet while playing, and I do at times really strum the guitar quite aggressively, depending on what song I'm playing. 3. I would definitely change the strings and if just that string breaks again but she's positive she was doing everything correctly you could take it to a guitar store and get a professional opinion as to whether there is a deeper problem with the guitar, for example, maybe the neck needs adjusted, etc., but I suspect a new set of strings is all that is needed. To your daughter----Good luck, hang in there & keep learning/playing. It's good for the soul. I just bought my twin daughters their own DR-100 GUITARS. 1-Natural & 1 Ebony. I only wish I would have had this nice of a "first" guitar when I started out. Hope this helps.

Does this guitar have 2 buttons for a strap? Also, what strings here on amazon would you recommend buying as back-up if one breaks?

Yes it has 2 strap buttons. I just got my Epiphone DR-100 about a week ago. I got it in Black. Absolutely beautiful guitar, well made, fun to play and warm sound even with the factory installed strings. I like play a lot of Beatles songs and I use Rotosound strings on my electric guitars so when it's time to change strings on this guitar I plan to use Rotosound SB10 Super Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings (10 14 20 28 40 50) which you can get here on Amazon. Good Luck and I definitely recommend the DR-100.

Is this a good guitar for a beginer that just started to learn how to play

This is a great guitar. I got it back in 2012 for a cheap guitar that I might not mind using or losing on the road. It was as cheap as the hard case that I purchased for it back then. The action was a little high, so I pulled out some sand paper and a file and adjusted that when I installed a piezo pickup under the bridge along with an onboard tuner. Once properly adjusted, It's is absolutely amazing! If you don't know how, take it to a professional and tell them you want the action lowered (without any buzz). I keep it at church now for when I need it.

How is the packaging? Will I have to worry about a broken string or a cracked fret board?

If you're going to be a guitar player, you need to keep spare strings around the house and learn how to change them out yourself. Thus, a string change is a routime event that a guitarist does not “worry about” because he simply fixes it himself in a few minutes. Its much cheaper and faster than taking it to a guitar tech. It’s really quite easy and you can learn how on youtube. Professional guitar techs can change a string, stretch it, and tune it up in 2-3 minutes but you will pay for skilled service.
