I have a 2.5 year old & she loves guitars. I don't want to buy a plastic toy one that is unlike the actual instrument. Is 23" going to be too big?

Honestly its too much of a toy. Its absolutely horrible quality. Toys r us has a much nicer one i just bought on sale for a little more than this and its real. Nice wood and real strings. Its so much bettet than this one. Dont waste your money.

Size is great, but strings won't hold! Pay a little more and get a little more, but the size was great for a small, 3 year old.

I am sure it will. It will just be a bit big. I put my full sized 42" acoustic in the gig bag and it fits snuggly. A 23" guitar will just be a bit small for the bag, but it will fit! It's a great bag for the money. I have already gotten my money's worth out of it!

This is an awesome guitar. The guitar is made well and looks very nice. However, it can easily be damaged if dropped or banged against something. I am a girl with small hands and it is much easier for me to play with this smaller guitar. I don't really know how big six year old hands are but I think this 3/4 guitar would be easier to use than the normal size ones. Hopes this helps.

That is mostly dependent upon the age and frame of the child. The guitar is 3/4 scale, so it would be more appropriate potentially than a full scale.

Hi, My grandsons received one last Christmas because they wanted to take lessons. But, they lost interest and the guitars probably haven't been used much. I don't have any way of knowing how they would have held up. I bought this guitar because of all the reviews of parents who had purchased it.I believe it was a 3/4 size for smaller hands.

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

It's a standard size 3/4 guitar about 38" x 14" would be my guess. I am not at home right now. My daughter has grown out of it but if you are 5' 2" and shorter probably good to stick with this. The nut is also smaller about 1.5 inches (means the strings are closer together so if you have skinny fingers will work great).

I think so. My six year-old daughter is working on scales and some chord shapes, but there is still room for her to grow into it. The guitar has a good tone and great machine heads (it holds its tuning well).

This is a full size guitar. I'm 21 but I'm not very big and I have no problem handling it, I've been playing guitar since I was 15 and the cheap guitar I used to own was the same size. If you're asking about anyone younger than that I suppose it's a matter of opinion and the players skill level.

I would say that this guitar is the average size. If it's a bit too big, she'll grow, and I'm site she'll like it, I do. :)

This is a great beginning guitar, but I think it would be to heavy to be comfortable for an 8 year old. http://www.firstguitar.com/electric-mini.htmlI think it is as important to learn on a quality guitar. The fender squire might be a better option, as it may be less unwieldy. Shop amps, as a guitar is often only as good as an amp lets it be :)

Yes. It's a 3/4 size so just a little smaller than an adult size. Bought it for my 9 year old and it's plenty big enough. Nice guitar for the price.

Hi M. Stewart, I own a G9126 and even that it is a small beautiful guitar the neck is almost as wide as a regular size guitar. I think the space between frets and strings will be to big for a small hands kid. The Cordoba guilele and Yamaha gitalele will be more suitable for your kid (because of the thinner neck they have), they are both cheaper on price and quality but not that much on sound. The Yamaha comes in different colors.....you can also check smallguitars.com

Yes! My 6-year-old is currently learning on this guitar. The neck width is narrower, making it easier for smaller hands to grab chords.

I have big hands and it is good. Not good for my son. He has a smaller guitar. Not much help I know. Sorry

We use it for my child's 3/4 guitar and it's a perfect fit, so I'm thinking it would be too small.

I know I'm a little too late, but I do think it would be a great first guitar for a kid. however it might be a little too big for him. You might want to consider the guitars made for kids his age. Maybe with some of his favorite cartoon characters as well.
