Sorry, little confused. Is this a 1/2 size guitar? And is it the right size for a 6 year old. One customer said it was too small for a 6 year old?

I am guitar teacher with 40+ students, mostly children. Most of my young students play this guitar, including my grandson, who is 11. In my experience, it has been the perfect size for a 6-10 yr. olds. Easy to play nylon strings means we get to skip hearing the complaints of sore fingers. This little guitar is a workhorse, is a for-real guitar, and it gets the job done for an affordable price. I am a huge fan of the Amigo AM15.

I know I'm a little too late, but I do think it would be a great first guitar for a kid. however it might be a little too big for him. You might want to consider the guitars made for kids his age. Maybe with some of his favorite cartoon characters as well.

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

I would suggest reading reviews for the best answer. Size is probably fine. It is a real instrument and not designed for abuse. The case that comes with it is useless. If he is a young protg, you may also want to consult a music store regarding the strings. My son uses this for band at school and it's worked well and his instructor said it was good for now.

A guitar is measured from bridge to nut. This one measures 21 1/2 in that measurement. I believe it would be a 1/2 size. My petite 8 year old daughter has enjoyed it for 2 years. She will likely outgrow it by next year. It has been the perfect beginner guitar. I recommend getting the case as well.

I have big hands and it is good. Not good for my son. He has a smaller guitar. Not much help I know. Sorry

I bought my son, 10, a regular size strat and was a bit too big for him. (You could go into a local guitar store and have him try a regular vs 3/4 size.) So we went with the 3/4 strat and kept the regular one which I enjoy playing. He is smaller than your average boy at 10 yrs old. I also had some debate about acoustic vs. electric as well. I'm very glad I went with electric because he really enjoys making different sounds with the guitar and amp. It is really keeping his interest high.

My 16 year old daughter plays this guitar, she's 5'6" and has little hands, I think it will work just fine for you.

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

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.

It is full size and very nice. It is metal. It would be a great guitar for someone who is learning. My granddaughter loved it and she is 13. Hope this helps.

It's a standard size 3/4 guitar about 38" x 14" would be my guess. I am not at home right now. My daughter has grown out of it but if you are 5' 2" and shorter probably good to stick with this. The nut is also smaller about 1.5 inches (means the strings are closer together so if you have skinny fingers will work great).

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).

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