Is this a good guitar for a 6 year old?

Yes, its a good size, maybe still a tiny bit big for a six year old but good practice for a full size guitar

My daughter is a smaller 10 year old and it is perfect for her. We are very pleased with this purchase for actual guitar lessons.

If the six year old is big for their age, otherwise get the child size guitar. If they are going to stay with it and grow into it, it will be good for quite some time.

I bought this guitar last Christmas for my then almost 6 yr old daughter. She's on the smaller side for kids her age but not exceptionally so. The 3/4 size was still too large for her to properly hold and find notes on. Along with the fact that it uses steel strings makes me think that it's not a good beginner guitar. Hard to hold and hard on the beginner's fingers. Caused frustration rather than learning. The sound quality is so-so. Reasonable guitar for the price, but I wouldn't buy again.

I bought this for my boys at 10, it's a nice guitar. Depending on what your plans are for your 6 year old they can grow into it as it's quality enough to last and is what the music instructor suggested to me for my boys. My twins are 10 and pretty small so it shouldn't be too bad size wise. If you are looking for more of a toy one this isn't it. My smaller twin was 50 inches tall and 48lbs if that helps all. Feel free to ask anything else you need, I know I needed it when I was looking.

I bought this for my 7 year old at the beginning of summer, he is average height and slender and it was a good fit, not too big but big enough that I wouldn't have to buy the full-size next year. It is a very nice guitar for the price, we'll-crafted and sounds great, definetly worth it to spend the extra money, he loves it and though he did complain about the strings hurting his fingers at first he has done amazingly well with this guitar.

This guitar is a nice first guitar. I bought it for my 12 yr old and it is nice and small, perfect for smaller fingers. Sounds great. Very good quality for the price. My son can also play it and he is 14 and has been playing for 5 yrs. when he plays it, it sounds AWESOME!! So basically, this guitar can work for any age:))

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).

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.

Depends on their size. My daughter is 7 and four feet tall. This guitar is just a little too big for her. But, not by much.

Hi M. Stewart,I own a G9126 and even that it is a small beautiful guitar the neck is almost as wide as a regular size guitar. I think the space between frets and strings will be to big for a small hands kid. The Cordoba guilele and Yamaha gitalele will be more suitable for your kid (because of the thinner neck they have), they are both cheaper on price and quality but not that much on sound. The Yamaha comes in different colors.....you can also check smallguitars.com

Unfortunately I agree with Davids comments. While the size of the guitar is great for a child it is not really an instrument. It cannot be kept in tune and sounds horrible even when it is tuned. It won't inspire much love of playing when the sounds it makes are all so unsatisfying. Great toy for my 4 year old though!

I would suggest a regular Ukulele rather than this. When my daughter wanted to start playing guitar (age 8) Her guitar teacher said to start with a Baritone 4 string Ukulele. Only four strings to learn at first would make it easier and less frustrating for a beginner. It worked out well her, she's 16 now and still plays and takes lessons, she was able to transition to a 6 string guitar no problem. Her second instrument was a baby martin (3/4 guitar) then Baby Strat. Next a Full sized MIM Strat, Seagull cutaway and Hoffner Bass. I did get this Guitar Ukulele the other week and she love it, she wanted something to travel with. I would suggest a regular Ukulele rather than this.

I bought it as a gift for my granddaughter, age 12, and she loves hers. She is also taking lessons at school. It's a good fit, size-wise. You might want to replace the guitar "strings" with silk and steel strings if you're concerned about tender fingers. Possibly nylon strings but I'm not sure if they'd work. And if you do decide to replace the strings, choose the lightest gauge you can since they aren't as hard on unseasoned fingers as heavier gauge strings.

No bought it for my 4 year old and its perfect! Abd planning to get a 3/4 for my 10 year old who is on the big side for 10. So 3/4 or a small regular guitar would be best for a 13yr old

That is mostly dependent upon the age and frame of the child. The guitar is 3/4 scale, so it would be more appropriate potentially than a full scale.

I bought this guitar for my daughter..not bad for an entry level guitar. I would buy the bundle...you'll need pics and a tuner

This guitar might be too small for him, it really depends on the size of his fingers and hand span. I would take him to a guitar shop and find out if it's the right fit.. then come back online and buy through Amazon ! You won't find better prices or service anywhere else for all musical gear... I haven't !

Frank, It is absolutely a good guitar for a 10 years old with this price. When I bought this guitar, my son was also 10 years old. This guitar was recommended by his guitar's instructor when my son started the lesson.Hope that your boy/girl would enjoy it.

I wouldn't think so, but it depends on how tall he is and how long his arms are. I'm 5' 5" and find the body of this guitar a little too big. The length of the neck and spread of the frets are a stretch for my hands (I wear a ladies M-L glove). It would be a great guitar for him to grow in to, however, you may want to consider going to your local music store and getting him sized before you spend a few hundred dollars to make sure. If it's just a little too big, it would probably be perfect since he'll grow in to it quickly. But if he needs a 3/4 size, he may not grow in to a full size guitar for another couple of years.

I bought this for my 6 year old. It is just the right size and she loves playing it. This is a good first guitar for young starters.

Hi, My grandsons received one last Christmas because they wanted to take lessons. But, they lost interest and the guitars probably haven't been used much. I don't have any way of knowing how they would have held up. I bought this guitar because of all the reviews of parents who had purchased it.I believe it was a 3/4 size for smaller hands.

Yes! My 6-year-old is currently learning on this guitar. The neck width is narrower, making it easier for smaller hands to grab chords.

It's a very nice guitar however it might be too big for a 7 year old.I got it for my daughter when she was 12
