A 3/4 classical guitar is a larger version of a children's and youth guitar, specifically designed for players who have outgrown a 1/2 classical guitar but are (still) not tall enough for a full-size 4/4 guitar. This guitar size is primarily intended for children between 8 and 12 years old (depending on their height and hand span) and serves as an ideal transition instrument that facilitates child-friendly learning.
While the standard scale length (the vibrating string length) of a full-size 4/4 guitar is about 650 mm, a 3/4 model typically ranges between 580 and 610 mm. The shorter scale length makes it easier to press the strings with less effort, while the slimmer guitar neck provides a comfortable grip. The narrower body is proportionally adjusted to the total length (approx. 920 to 960 mm) and scale length, and the body depth is also reduced compared to a full-size guitar. These features improve accessibility and handling for younger guitarists.
Parents and teachers should ensure they select the right guitar size for the child. A guitar that is too large or too small can hinder the development of proper playing techniques and, due to poor ergonomics, may even cause physical discomfort. It is highly beneficial for the child to try out the guitar beforehand to ensure they can handle it comfortably. A well-fitted guitar supports learning progress and enhances the joy of playing.
