Is this guitar suitable for a 11 year old boy? He is 4ft 9in.

It will be a little big for him, but it will definitely work and he will grow into it within a year or two.

My granddaughter turned 9 and was her birthday present. Along with lessons. Her instructor complimented the guitar and she is totaly capable in learning and playing it. But I do presume it would depend on the childs frame size. If she is petite i would search for something smaller or wait a few years.

Depends on their size. My daughter is 7 and four feet tall. This guitar is just a little too big for her. But, not by much.

Assuming you are an adult, it should not be a problem. You'll love the guitar.

Depends. Its a good solid guitar for the price but at 10 she may be a bit small to hold the body to play it, since it is a full size rather long necked and wide bodied guitar. Basically if you think her arms are long enough to finger the frets and get her other arm over it to strum -- go for it -- if not go for the the 3/4ths size to start. That is what I would do.

I would probably start a 10 yr old on a smaller size esp a beginner. This however would be a good next guitar for someone who may go from beginner to novice and then a little older/bigger

I bought it as a gift for my granddaughter, age 12, and she loves hers. She is also taking lessons at school. It's a good fit, size-wise. You might want to replace the guitar "strings" with silk and steel strings if you're concerned about tender fingers. Possibly nylon strings but I'm not sure if they'd work. And if you do decide to replace the strings, choose the lightest gauge you can since they aren't as hard on unseasoned fingers as heavier gauge strings.

Yes, this guitar is an appropriate size for an adult. Its a great guitar to learn or practice on.

I don't know much about guitars, but my son is 17 and 6 foot tall and it seems to be a decent size for him.

I would say this is mainly for kids. Although, I know nothing about guitar's....so it may be suitable for kids. But I just think it looks a little smaller than an adult guitar.

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

Mitra - we recently purchased this drum set for our 5 yr old son and they fit him perfectly. I would think that they'd likely be too small for a 9 yr old. You might want to check with a local guitar center and ask about the Jr. Drum sets by Ludwig or PDP. Always good to check before ordering something online.

I got one for my 8 yr old daughter last year. She is tall for her age - could pass for a 10-11 yr old. It is a good fit for her. her guitar teacher said it is a good size for her. It's about 38" in length and about 14" at it's widest spot.

No. This is a regular guitar only smaller for kids. It is identical to my husband's strat's, the only difference is it's small. Your son's teacher might be referring to a bass. As far as I know, there isn't a 4 string guitar, but basses come in 4, 5, and 6 string (although 6 string basses are unusual).

I am 5' 6" and 40 and I have a difficult time with it, but my 4' 7" 11 year old loves it. I think it depends on your aptitude and time you want to spend with it.

Sophia, This is a standard "dreadnought" size instrument. Its the best selling size of acoustic guitar by far. We would recommend this size instrument for most everyone from teens up unless they had very petite hands - in which case we might recommend a "student" sized instrument. While not a perfect measurement (hands don't necessarily link to height - a competent guitar teacher would be best to insure), if the player is over 4' 6" in height, they are fine with a dreadnought size guitar like the SA-50 which they can use for life.
