I have a 14 yr old who really wants a guitar but the one we have is too big would this one work better?

I bought this guitar for my nephew who is 7. It is a wonderful size for him. also, it is a student's guitar but beautiful and excellently made using steel strings. It has everything needed, carry case, pitch tuner, and pick. It's also great value for price. Hope this helps.

yes, it is the perfect size 38 inches. this one is fine, but it won't look new when you rec it. Search for one that has a shark tuner clip on with it. It is better

Yes,it would probably be the right size. I got this one for a 13 year old. It's for Christmas so he hasn't seen it yet but I think it is just the right size.

I would not think so. I would not use this guitar for any but elementary students. We use this as a "class" guitar for second graders. This guitar needs frequent retuning, so an older student developing a musical ear without an instructor to tune the guitar may be frustrated. 3/4 or just small body models might be better. Fender, Martin, Yamaha, and Gibson all have good choices, although more expensive. Electrics, which are smaller, are also good choices for teens. This is however one of the least expensive options for any entry guitar.

Yes, I believe this would be just the right size. It's larger than child size, but just smaller than adult size. Very ocmfortable size for me, also, and the father of the child I bought one for plays it all the time.

the guitar I had when I was 12 was bigger and heavier than this, so I guess this one would be OK for your kid, and the strings are really soft,so his/her little fingers wouldn't feel miserable as mine did when I just started to play guitar.

I believe the guitar would fit a sixteen year old just fine. The neck is small enough for younger hands and fingers. The guitar is easy to fret and is definitely a good guitar to start and learn on. I received my first guitar at age 14 and was a Yamaha FG180 that was much harder to fret. Hope this helps.

It is the full sized for a adult or young teenager,I am 19 and its in good size,if you are looking for someone younger. than 13 this guitar is not for them. Hope this helps!

I'd say it's too small for a 13 yr old. I'd look at a concert body acoustic (if an acoustic is preferred) or an electric guitar/amp package which includes a headphone jack on the amp :).

This is a full size guitar. I'm 21 but I'm not very big and I have no problem handling it, I've been playing guitar since I was 15 and the cheap guitar I used to own was the same size. If you're asking about anyone younger than that I suppose it's a matter of opinion and the players skill level.

The guitar is adult sized. I bought it for my teen son who is basically adult sized. I'd say it would fit fine for an older child or teen. But my judgment is a bit skewed as my boys are very tall. It is just important a child can get his/her arm over the top and reach the strings

Its a great guitar but the action is a bit high. Barre chords could be difficult for her depending on her hand strength. If she's dead set on playing acoustic guitar, bring her to a music store and have her test out some steel string acoustics and nylon string classicals. That will give you a better idea of what will make her most happy with a first guitar.

I think so. My six year-old daughter is working on scales and some chord shapes, but there is still room for her to grow into it. The guitar has a good tone and great machine heads (it holds its tuning well).

My daughter is 11 and 5'1". Her instructor is advising her to get a smaller guitar so it will fit her body better.

To be honest I don't know but the area for the body of the guitar is pretty big. I would give you a thumbs up and tell you to go for it. With that being said double check the return policy......

Two choices I see. You can get a child's guitar which is smaller and "sounds" like a guitar. You can get this uke and it will fit his hands better, but not have the guitar sound he might be looking for. Some people even say to start a child with an electric guitar as it is easier to make chords although the guitar will be heavier and you need an amp. A ukulele would be great. Show him some kids playing the uke on YouTube so he does not think it is just a "toy" and he will feel better. The chords on the uke are different from the guitar, however, the uke has four strings so most of the simple chords will be easy. Hope this helps. Two choices I see.

No, it is too big. Look at for a 3/4 guitar, such as a Yamaha FG JR1. Also, the sound on this particular fender is marginal at best, and the action is really tough. Hope this helps!

This is an awesome guitar. The guitar is made well and looks very nice. However, it can easily be damaged if dropped or banged against something. I am a girl with small hands and it is much easier for me to play with this smaller guitar. I don't really know how big six year old hands are but I think this 3/4 guitar would be easier to use than the normal size ones. Hopes this helps.

Your best bet is to measure the guitar for dimensions than cross reference this for your case. Look for a case made for that exact guitar, but I am not certain if your sons will fit.

The size was a little big but doable for my five year olds, but the strings where to hard for them to push down. We got a smaller guitar and it has worked much better for lessons. This is a nice guitar though.

It should be fine. I believe it is a 3/4?size guitar, which is probably ideal for a 10-13 year old.

My daughter has a beginners guitar and there is still room in it, if that helps.
