What size guitar/bass should I buy for my child?

If you are looking to purchase a guitar for a child it is important to ensure the guitar is not too big, but also that your child will not outgrow the instrument too quickly.  

 

We usually recommend the following based on the age/height of the child:


Age (Years) 

Height (cm) 

Guitar Size 

4 – 6 

99 – 114 

1/4 

5 – 8 

117 – 135 

1/2 

8 – 11 

137 – 150 

3/4 

11 + 

152 +
