Choosing a Guitar
VPL offers left- and right-handed guitars in a variety of sizes: ½, ¾ and full size guitars. The guitars also come with nylon or steel strings.
Which guitar size is right for me? A general rule to follow is to gauge the guitar size based on the height of the player:
Guitar Size | Height of Player* | Age Recommendation* |
---|---|---|
1/2 Size | 3'10" - 4'5" | 5-8 years |
3/4 Size | 4'6" - 4'11" | 8-12 years |
Full Size | 5' & over | 12+ years |
*Approximate sizing and measurements
For more information about choosing a guitar size, see Shepherd Guitar Studio's Guitar Sizing Guide.
