Guitar sizes vary and you’ll find no less than ten different options, depending on your tastes, level of expertise, and playing difficulty.
The smallest instrument that falls under the guitar category is the ukulele, a traditional Hawaiian instrument with four strings. These instruments are ideal for people who find normal-sized guitars too big such as children or adults with tiny fingers.
The guitarlele or the Kiku is the perfect combination between a ukulele and a full-sized guitar. It combines the versatility and lightweight design of the Hawaiian guitar with the six-string design of full-size instruments.
The ¾ choice is the most common one for people with small hands and children between 8 and 12 years old. Both the electric and acoustic versions of the ¾ guitars have the same length but the body of an electric guitar is thinner.
The Parlour guitars are the smallest full-size items available on the market and make the transition between the ¾ versions and the full-size instruments. However, regardless of their size, all guitars should sound the same.
