Childs electric guitar |
|

Hi Guys,
My niece who is nearly 10 years old and 150cm tall wants to learn electric guitar.
I was thinking maybe a 3/4 size one would be ok, what do you think?
Also any recommendations?
Thanks fro any help

There are a lot of short scale electric guitars out there.
I even have a 1/2 scale strat I used to travel with.
There cheap and good now.
Check this out.
May be PERFECT!

Those daisy guitars look spot on, very hard to find in the UK though! |

Andy, I'm really in two minds about this; one one hand, if she's already 150 cm at 10, she'll probs be quite big enough to be able to play a normal sized one in the future, but on the other hand, sh's just about small enough that she might be more comfortable with a short scale guitar.
Squier do some decent ones, like the "Hello Kitty" and the Mini/Mini Players, the Duo-Sonic and others. The Hello Kitty even comes in Pink!
Also, Wahburn have a Hanna Montana model, with suitable colour schemes.

I haven't checked, but I'm sure that Yamaha's Pacifica series includes a 3/4 scale model as well, and the cheap Pacificas are good enough that I wouldn't worry too much about playing a pro gig with one if all my proper guitars were unavailable. _________________ Where there are too many policemen, there is no liberty.

Thanks, I will have a look into these in detail.
I am tickled by the Washburn Hanna Montana, one of my old friends had a Washburn that he picked up really cheap in a pawn shop, it was one of the nicest guitars to play that I have ever played., that coupled with Hanna Montana strikes a chord with me.
It was blue though and Ii'm not sure Hanna Montana would approve of that!
Also there is a disney version
She would love that.
I will look some more tomorrow.
Cheers
Andy |
