Is this guitar suitable for a child?

Yes its great! Only downside I can think of was that it was a bit heavy due to it being some kind of layered all laminate. I ended up getting a baby taylor instead of this. I preferred the sound and feel of that guitar better but its up to you!

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

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.

As others said, the upside to it being laminate is that its very very durable!

This is a great little guitar and would be perfect for a child! The small size of it would help him/her manage it better! It sounds really nice as well! Good luck!

The neck is still full size, so depending on age their hands may be too small. Weight and size wise, it's great for kids, and it's durable. I would also throw lighter gauge strings on it for a kid, the ones that came with it were pretty rugged. The neck on the baby taylor is a little easier to handle. As an alternative, tenor guitars have a real nice light thin neck and are super easy to handle. Hope this helps.

It is absolutely ideal for a child because of its small size . Furthermore it's constructed to last a lifetime it's a really nice instrument ...

Hey, we all know that some 10 year olds are bigger than others. If your child has a reasonably large enough hand that he/she can grip the guitar neck like a baseball bat, then I would say yes to this guitar as a beginner instrument. The size of the body won't be an issue really. The hand size is the real concern. So, once again... YES!!! Enjoy!!!

No, this guitar can be used by adults as well. I personally think it's about the size of an old parlor guitar. I keep it in my vehicle and practice with it, much nicer to have something smaller around. I've also used it as a 'camp fire' guitar but it honestly is pretty limited when playing with others just due to the size, it doesn't really get that loud but that's expected. It has a good sound and really good action, easy to play, stays in tune.

I use it on my normal size guitar.. I am 24.. I guess it will work for a kid if you adjust the strap to be very small.. It is not meant to be used for kids tho..

My 8 year old grand daughter loves this guitar I bought her. At that age any guitar is a little large. The neck (for hand reach) is on the smaller size, better for smaller hands. She plays it several times a day while singing and smiling. Strings are metal but nylon could be used if one wanted. Finger tips always need a couple weeks to "toughen-up." Her 12 year old friend who plays in a band recommended this to Fern as the guitar to get. Grandpa Charlie

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

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.

Hello Rahul,Yes, this instrument is good for kids. My child is under 12yrs and the size is perfect. All I had to do was allow her music instructor to tune it for her. Other than that all is well. I have not had any incident with it and it is still in good working condition. I am a very satisfied customer with this product. I hope this helps to answer your questionBest regards

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.

The guitar is good for any age. It's small enough for a ten year old to easily handle. It sounds great too. Definitely not a toy.

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.

This guitar is NOT suitable for a 12 year old. It is also not suitable for any person of any age who thinks it is a real guitar. This is a toy guitar that First Act is trying to pass off as a playable real guitar. Can Not Be Played.

I bought it to teach my daughter who is four to play. It is definately not like a junior Martin. It's just about as big as my other guitars.

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.

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'm sorry .. Idk how to measure that? .. If you tell me I can get out the tape measure .. I can tell you at 5'2, or 6 feet it is comfortable .. I wouldn't say that this is a starter guitar for a child, but for an adult or bigger child ..
