Although Full Size guitars are the most popular, all types of guitars come in different sizes to accomodate younger guitar students. Since full size guitars are the most popular, there are more models and colors to choose from in full size guitars. Choice and selection are much more narrow in smaller guitars, i.e. 3/4 and 1/2 size guitars. A guitar should not present too long a reach so as to strain the wrist. Children's sizes will vary based on age alone, but here are our well-educated guesstimates. These guidelines are generalised and may overlap so if the child is tall or short for his age, or entering the next age group soon consider these variables.
