Would this guitar be too big for a five year old?

Yes, it is grown up size. It is barely small enough for my 15 year old daughter. The frets are way too wide.

As long as she is an average sized 13 year old, there should be no problem. It's a really good learner guitar.

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 !

I would suggest not to buy this guitar....Give your grandson a better guitar. .. He will learn well. ..

Honestly I'm not sure but it would be too small for a 5 year old. It's not very big.

Depends. Its a good solid guitar for the price but at 10 she may be a bit small to hold the body to play it, since it is a full size rather long necked and wide bodied guitar. Basically if you think her arms are long enough to finger the frets and get her other arm over it to strum -- go for it -- if not go for the the 3/4ths size to start. That is what I would do.

Yes. It fits my 7 year old daughter's arms/stature perfectly. I suppose if an adult *wanted* a mini guitar like this that fits so very well with a child's size, they could get it, but overall, it's a child size guitar :).

personally I think it would be too large. Our daughter is 17 and began guitar this year and bought this model and it is large and heavier than other models. I would recommend a lighter, smaller one.

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 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.

Yes.I think it is way too big for a five-year-old. It is a big hit with my son whose average size and nine years old. But I suspect he'll be able to use the board for at least three years.

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!

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

Yes, the fret and neck board would be to thick for most girls that age to get their hand around. Its made more for a early teen ager, 12-16. The half size guitars and ukes are more sized for a seven year old unless you are planning for her to grow into this. At that age it is hard to tell.

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 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.

Yes. It's a 3/4 size so just a little smaller than an adult size. Bought it for my 9 year old and it's plenty big enough. Nice guitar for the price.
