The 3rd Avenue 3/4 Size Classical Guitar Pack is an affordable first guitar for children aged 8–12: a nylon-string classical guitar in a choice of five finishes, supplied with a gig bag and a spare set of strings. The soft nylon strings are gentle on young fingers, making this the classic starting point for school guitar lessons.

Who is this guitar pack for?

The 3/4 size suits children aged around 8–12, and the nylon strings are the reason teachers recommend classical guitars first: lower string tension means no sore fingertips while chord shapes are being learnt. It is a popular choice for school guitar groups and home starters alike. Not sure on sizing? See our Guitar Size Guide — younger children aged 5–8 fit the 1/2 size classical guitar pack better.

Why do children start on a classical guitar?

Because nylon strings are much softer under the fingers than the steel strings of an acoustic guitar, and the lower string tension makes pressing chords easier. That keeps the first months of learning comfortable — which is why classical guitars are the standard choice for school guitar lessons. Our guide Which is better, acoustic or classical guitar? explains the differences.

What age fits a 3/4 size classical guitar?

Roughly ages 8–12, depending on height and reach. Smaller children (5–8) usually suit a 1/2 size, and players of 12 and over are generally ready for full size.

Is this guitar suitable for school lessons?

Yes — it is built for education use, and the gig bag with backpack strap makes it easy for children to carry between home and school. The spare set of strings covers the inevitable classroom mishaps.

Do nylon strings need tuning often?

New nylon strings stretch, so expect frequent tuning in the first week or two — that is normal on every classical guitar. Once settled, they hold their pitch well between lessons.
