Kids & 3/4 Sized Electric Guitars

It's more a question of physical size than age: some smaller adults prefer a 3/4 guitar and some 9 year olds are too big for one! It really comes down to trying a few and determining how easy one guitar is to play on compared with another. Our staff are always available to help you through this stage, offering guidance and assistance whenever you need it.

Yes! There are no real rules, just try a variety of sizes and go with what feels best to you. Plenty of full sized guitars like the Fender Duo Sonic are not too much bigger than a 3/4 size guitar anyway so just play a selection of different guitars to zero in on what you like.

It is difficult to say for definite but if your son or daughter is around 9 or 10 years old, they may need a full size guitar unless they happen to be on the smaller side. The opposite can be true too: some kids get on fine with a full size guitar at a young age. Our best advice is to visit a guitarguitar store where our friendly staff will offer help and guidance.

You can defintiely sit down and play them unplugged but they are not designed for this use and the resulting tone will be quiet and lacking in 'sound'. Plugging into an amplifier and keeping the volume down is a much better option for quiet practising!
