best guitar for a 16 year old girl never played before

Perfect guitar for a beginner to learn on. It's very playable & forgiving. If she keeps up her interest in playing it'll be an awesome guitar for intermediate to professional playing. It may cost a little more than a lot of the cheapies but it's extremely important to have a quality guitar to depend on as you go thru the learning stages. The cheaper the guitar, the quicker a beginner loses interest. FACT!

I think so. If her fingers are shorter so that she'd need a narrower fingerboard, the Seagull Entourage Rustic would probably be a better fit, and is probably a little cheaper. My opinion is you can't go wrong with a Seagull!

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.

I think it's a good starter guitar. The steel strings might beat ur fingers up a little but the guitar is inexpensive and sounds nice. Definitely good 4 beginners

Hey John, this is actually my first guitar and I have had it for almost a month and I love it. I am using it with the game rocksmith and it sounds amazing for a guitar that cost $80. I even had a buddy of mine check out the guitar and he loved it. This is a perfect guitar for a beginner. I don't think you will regret it.

I am adult and not a beginner and I use it as a travel guitar. If this is your only guitar, I recommend a full-size guitar. But if you want something small to knock around with, travel or practice with when you are away from home, it's a good choice.

i have this guitar.its not bad. i learned basic, open chord guitar from youtube also. been playing over a year now. its a good starter guitar. just make sure any guitar u get has a good, straight neck and u'll be good to go. try to get bright d'adarrio strings on it for great sound.they are sturdy/long lasting strings too. a great beginner song to learn is 'down by the water.' by the decemberists. and 'sweet pea' by amos lee.

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

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

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.

It depends on the size of your ten year old! I am 5'4" and my hand breadth thumb to pinkie (think stretched out to make a turkey hand) is 7". I don't have a terribly difficult time playing, however I do think it would be easier on a small neck. I would suggest looking into a 3/4 size guitar, but I do believe that the 90 would be playable.

My grandaughter just turned 9 when i got it for her birthday. Along with guitar lessons. The instructor said it was a good choice and she is totaly capable of learning on it.

This guitar is on the top end of beginners guitars. Good quality for the price. Best thing you have to decide is your commitment to learn to play. The higher end guitars are easier to play and have a better sound. If you can afford a $400 - $600 guitar you will enjoy the learning experience more

Hi, I can only tell you my experience with the S6 Original, I absolutely love it! I'm a beginner too, female, in my forties. I'm 5'7" and medium build, I would say I have average sized hands. This guitar sounds so amazing, it has such a rich beautiful tone, I never felt like it was too wide or big to comfortably play. Hope this helps.

Yes, a great beginner guitar, but it is a guitar, so it is kind of a delicate piece, but my nieces and nephews have only managed to break the strings, and one tuning peg. But I ordered 3 last xmas and they are all with in 3 or 4 years of 7 years. So for the money it was a great buy.

Its a great guitar but the action is a bit high. Barre chords could be difficult for her depending on her hand strength. If she's dead set on playing acoustic guitar, bring her to a music store and have her test out some steel string acoustics and nylon string classicals. That will give you a better idea of what will make her most happy with a first guitar.

It's a great guitar for beginners, i guess you can get softer strings for it and a better case, but apart from the i really recommend this.

I gave it to my eight year old last year for Christmas. The amp that comes with it is just right. Over all I would say it's a good starter guitar. On a scale of 1-10 I would give it an 8. Good buy.
