A lot of the reviews state that this is actually a full sized guitar. Is this the smaller 3/4 or not? Looking for use by an 8 year old.

It is smaller, but not a lot. I'd say it's not quite 3/4.. More like 7/8. It's closer to being down sized for a woman vs a man, than it is an Child vs an adult

I haven't measured it, but my 10 year old daughter uses it. And when I use the guitar my fingers are very cramped. It doesn't look at all close to the size of our teacher's guitar.

this guitar is bulky for me and i'm 5'5 and weigh 125 pounds. so for an 8 yr. old, its gonna be big. big n bulky. but for an adult its good/not full size, but close to full size. i would get an 8yr.old the 'amigo' guitar. the Am30 or Am15 model. it's better n much easier to handle n learn on.

It's perfect for a child. My experience is that they are much more comfortable with this than a full sized instrument.

It's a full size guitar. However, the one I got doesn't work and there hasn't been a solution offered as of yet.

This is a 3/4 size guitar, NOT a regular size, you will want a regular size guitar. This is only for youth about age 5-10.

hi maripearl,this is a full size adult guitar. not that kid's can't learn on it but it might be a bit big for a ten year old. but the price is unbeatable for the quality.

3/4 is much smaller though not as small as a childs play guitar you see in the toy aisles. Good for a child 8 to 12 or so. ( or person of very small stature)

It is a good travel guitar based on the price. Because it is so inexpensive, you may not be too concerned about it getting banged up or lost. Based on size, I would say that it is not as good as a smaller sized guitar for travel. Please note that I am a small person in stature, so that is why I would make this comment. If you are a bigger person and the size isn't an issue, then it's great for travel. FYI-This guitar also has a wonderful sound and stays tuned for a very long time. I highly recommend this guitar!

Yes this is a full 39 inch guitar, and this is an excellent guitar for its price, great for a first guitar.

I got one for my 8 yr old daughter last year. She is tall for her age - could pass for a 10-11 yr old. It is a good fit for her. her guitar teacher said it is a good size for her. It's about 38" in length and about 14" at it's widest spot.

The guitar feels like a regular size guitar...it may be a little smaller but it feels just like a regular guitar...so i think my response would be ...not is not norrower...

It's about 40" long and the biggest part of the base is about 16". I'd suggest a 3/4 scale guitar for you if you are small. I am 5'4" 125 lbs and it's a little difficult to play for me but I bought it for my husband anyway.

Sorry, actually it is a shorter guitar neck but ideal for younger players. Still a great guitar for the price.

Hi, AEA. This was the second guitar that I bought, so I was a novice when I started using it as well. I would say that neck is about average in comparison to other guitars, but it's been perfect for me (I have average-sized hands). Other than that, it plays very well and has given me no issues in the six months that I've had it. I would definitely recommend it, AEA, but if your hands are really small, then you might want to seek out a guitar with a thinner neck.

I bought this little guitar for my 6 year old son to learn to play. I was amazed at how good it sounds that I started using it myself. This is a small guitar but not a toy guitar, it has great sound compared to regular sized guitars of the same price range. Hope this helps.

I can't answer that question. It is a 3/4 size guitar so if you know the size a real guitar's Length and width, you can multiply those dimensions by .75 to find. However, I would highly suggest against buying this. The one we received was no better than a toy guitar. The tuning knobs would not retain their tension (you'd see them actually turn back as you were playing), but even while it was "in tune" it sounded horrible. Find something else.

I think it is a good guitar for a 10yr old. If the interest fades you're not out a lot. My son likes his and the sound is really nice.
