Would this guitar suit smaller hands?

I bought this for a lady friend. She is about 5' 4" and has small hands. She doesn't seem to have any problems with the neck size. It has a fairly slim neck.

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.

I am not sure. My Guild 12 string fits in it quite well. I used the measurements of the guitar and of the case to make my decision and rejected several as being too big or too small. This one fit quite well.

Height is irrelevant for person of 5' and taller. It is a medium size guitar.. so I don't see any reason for height to be a concern. Enjoy strumming :)

Probably 1/2, but the best bet is to go into guitar store and try. The following blog post has one of the better discussions of children's guitar sizes that I have seen: http://www.suzukidad.com/guitar-gear-for-suzuki-students/childrens-guitars/

It would be a little wider than the tenor and slightly smaller than a full size guitar. Its a fun little instrument. I suffer from Ukulele acquisition syndrome ( Buying more Uks than I really need) so I play both on a regular bases the Guilele gives you the Uk sound with a guitar feel.Hope that helpsScott

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 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 think so... Its like a small classical guitar. Also its like an ukulele- both of which have the lower 3 strings as steel and the upper 3 nylon.

The only thing I would add to Bododio's answer is that if the dimensions are less, it will not work. The ergoplay is made for guitar bodies that are either acoustic or classical.

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.

I don't think it would be a good idea it is about 3/4 of the size of a normal one it is not a tiny guitar. By the way we finally got to tune it properly

I'm the same height, 5'5"-ish. The FG700S is playable but a smaller one would probably be easier. After having this guitar for a while, I went to a guitar store to look for a more comfortable guitar. The guys at the store advised me to look into parlor guitars or "folk-size" guitars instead of dreadnoughts. (I haven't bought a smaller guitar yet but am seriously considering purchasing one soon.)

If you do or have the smallest uke (soprano). Mine is the Martin Soprano Uke and it fits nicely in this case. Pretty decent case.

I have short fat fingers and it's my favorite guitar to play. I had a takamine that I disliked immensely because of the narrow fretboard. The short fingers should not make a big difference. Good luck.

The guitar feels like a regular size guitar...it may be a little smaller but it feels just like a regular guitar...so i think my response would be ...not is not norrower...

Yes I have small hands and the size small fits great. They also make XS if you need!

My daughter has a full size acoustic guitar (39-41) and it fits well. Your guitar seems to be a few inches larger, I guess you will have to make that call. It has a lot of room, but it may end up putting stress on your neck. Does that seem worth the risk?
