Could a 12 year old play with this guitar ?

Yes, like many Fender products this guitar has a slender neck and a very smooth action. I was trained on classic guitar (very wide neck) and have a Les Paul electric. The Fender is a very pleasant change of pace.

The best answer is "PERHAPS." It is a nice playing miniature guitar with good intonation and good sound (for its size). But the body might be too small to feel like he's playing a guitar. The body is the right size/scale for my 2-year old (although two is too young to learn how to play). A small body classical guitar could be another option for a six year old. But the look, sound, feel and quality of this tiny Gretsch is as good as one could wish for. So if your six year old likes the look of a ukelele, then this is the one for you.

I really don't know that much about guitars, but my son (father of the grandaughter I bought the guitar for) took it to a guitar shop to buy a case for it and the dealer told him it was one of the finest models he had ever seen for a young beginner. She enjoys it immensely and wants to be like taylor swift when she grows up - she is 9. Hope this helps in a small way.

Yes. That is the perfect age for this guitar. You might want to use some nylon strings, but at some point you need to toughen up the fingers no matter the age. I think this is a great guitar that has good sound and will last until they are ready to buy their own pro guitar. I was suprised at the quality package.

This is an awesome guitar. The guitar is made well and looks very nice. However, it can easily be damaged if dropped or banged against something. I am a girl with small hands and it is much easier for me to play with this smaller guitar. I don't really know how big six year old hands are but I think this 3/4 guitar would be easier to use than the normal size ones. Hopes this helps.

Yes. It's a 3/4 size so just a little smaller than an adult size. Bought it for my 9 year old and it's plenty big enough. Nice guitar for the price.

Yes. It will be fine. Any guitar will work for you, it just depends on how advanced you are. Just don't go for first act kid guitars. If you're serious about it then you'd want this one

Yes! My 6-year-old is currently learning on this guitar. The neck width is narrower, making it easier for smaller hands to grab chords.

My five year old is amused by my 2 years guitar. It's not something she gravitates towards regularly. I'd say you have better options

I purchased this guitar for my 11 year old niece. She has had it for about 6 months and has had no problems. She loves it!

Yes, I bought this for my 12 year old and it's very sturdy. I have also played around on it. It will last a long time.

The guitar is adult sized. I bought it for my teen son who is basically adult sized. I'd say it would fit fine for an older child or teen. But my judgment is a bit skewed as my boys are very tall. It is just important a child can get his/her arm over the top and reach the strings

My 16 year old daughter plays this guitar, she's 5'6" and has little hands, I think it will work just fine for you.

Yes it is. It's not to big and it's not tiny. I'm 13 and it works for me, it's a nice guitar too. The tuner works good.

Depends on their size. My daughter is 7 and four feet tall. This guitar is just a little too big for her. But, not by much.

Frank, It is absolutely a good guitar for a 10 years old with this price. When I bought this guitar, my son was also 10 years old. This guitar was recommended by his guitar's instructor when my son started the lesson.Hope that your boy/girl would enjoy it.

My 8 year old grand daughter loves this guitar I bought her. At that age any guitar is a little large. The neck (for hand reach) is on the smaller size, better for smaller hands. She plays it several times a day while singing and smiling. Strings are metal but nylon could be used if one wanted. Finger tips always need a couple weeks to "toughen-up." Her 12 year old friend who plays in a band recommended this to Fern as the guitar to get. Grandpa Charlie
