As long as a guitar was made with quality wood and rigid construction, you can expect it to last up to 20 years on average. Most cheap guitars will have a maximum lifespan of 10 years if used regularly with average maintenance. You can even make an affordable electric or classical guitar to last up to 30 years if you maintain it well.

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.
