Young guitar beginners will need an appropriate sized guitar in order to make steady progress. Children and even smaller adults will benefit from a 3/4 sized acoustic guitar. A 3/4 sized acoustic guitar has a smaller body and shorter neck making it possible to reach all of the notes easily.
We have recommended the Yamaha Jr-1 for 3/4 Sized Acoustic Guitar for many years. This guitar currently retails for for 159.99. You can find it here at sweetwater.com
While there may be lesser priced options, it’s essential to have an instrument that has proper string height from the finger board. If you get too cheap of an instrument it may be too difficult to play and can lead to a student becoming discouraged from practicing.
Learning a musical instrument takes time to establish basic proficiency. There’s enough challenges in front of the new student so having a good instrument is very important!
