Kid Guitars

Making the decision to allow your child to learn to play electric guitar can be just as fun for you as it can be for them! Part of this fun is shopping for the guitar!  There is only one real difference between children’s electric guitars and electric guitars for adults and that is the size of the instrument.  Your child’s age and build will determine which size children’s electric guitar you purchase for them.  Children who are age seven and younger would be best suited for a ½ size guitar. Whereas children aged eight years to about eleven years are better off playing the three quarter sized guitar. In most cases once a child has reached the age of eleven they should then be able to use a full size electric guitar without any problems.  Guitar cases for children also are available to fit both the ½ size and3/4 size guitars

It is important that you take your time when selecting the right children’s electric guitar for your child.  You need to make sure that you select the right size on because if it is too big your child might find it too difficult to handle and won’t be as willing to develop their electric guitar playing skills. Remember they need to be able to handle the guitar in a way that won’t be placing any strain on their body.   Best of luck and have fun!!
