Kid Guitars

Considering the vast amount of guitars on the market today, it’s not always easy to determine which instrument is right for your child. For starters, take the kid’s age into account. If he or she hasn’t yet reached the age of 9, a ¾ scale guitar is probably the best bet. That way, you can ensure that the child can reach the necessary chord fingerings it takes to make music.

If possible, take the time to try out a few acoustic guitars for kids before buying. Pay close attention to the tonality and sustain of each instrument. You can get a feel for the tonality by comparing a few different guitars and selecting the one that sounds best to your ears. Sustain is determined in part by the width of the strings. Wide strings can sustain a note for a longer duration.
