Depends on how well it is built and how you treat it. Roughly it will last around 3 to 4 years around kids, if they won't play catch catch with it. For adults who treasure their stuffs, it will last a life time.

If strings are loosened at frequent intervals, if strings are changed once in 3 months, if guitar is kept in a good moisture resistant bag, if feet board is lemon oiled regularly, if dust is not let to accumulate, guitar will last for lifetime.
