Frequently asked questions
Is a 3/4 size electric guitar right for my child?
A 3/4 size guitar generally suits children aged 8–12, depending on
height and reach. It is the most common size for school lessons at
Key Stage 2–3. Younger children (5–8) usually need a junior or 1/2 size;
teenagers and adults are better with full size.
Should a beginner start on electric or acoustic guitar?
Either works — but electric guitars have lighter strings and a slimmer
neck, which many children find easier on the fingers. Read our guide:
Is
it better to learn on an acoustic or electric guitar?
Can you practise quietly with this pack?
Yes — the amplifier has a headphone socket, so the guitar can be
practised silently through headphones, which suits home practice and
classrooms alike.
Does the amp need to be plugged in?
No. The 5W amp is rechargeable via USB-C, so it works anywhere without
a mains socket, and its Bluetooth input lets learners play along with
songs or backing tracks from a phone or tablet.
Is there a left-handed version?
This pack is right-handed, but a
left-handed
electric guitar pack is available in the same range.
