I wont to buy my nephew an acoustic gutiar for christmas. I don’t know how big a 38″ guitar is.?
He is 13yrs old but as big as an adult. I found a 38″ cutaway acoustic guitar but i have no idea if this is too large or too small. I can’t picture that large kid with a tiny guitar and don’t wont to buy him anything too expensive untill I see if he sticks with it.
A 38″ guitar could be either a standard electric, or a small bodied full scale, or large body short scale acoustic. If it’s a cheap acoustic you can literally expect it to start falling to pieces within six months if he plays it seriously. The bridge will start pulling up, the top will bowl in, the neck will start to warp, and the neck joint will start to seperate. By the time this starts happening you will probably know if he intends to stick with it and can invest in a better instrument. Be warned that these budget instruments can be very dificult to play and can really discourage a young player without the finger strength of an experienced guitarist. I never recomend nylon string guitars to beginners. They are the cheapest guitars to build and therefore the cheapest to buy. Nylon, or classical guitars traditionally have really wide fretboards. This is all fine if, and only if you intend to play classical or flaminco guitar. These wide fretboards do not lend themselves to any other type of mucis well. Many dealers will use the fact that a classical guitar uses softer nylon strings as a selling point for beginners. These softer strings will not develope the necessary finger strength for when your nephue moves into a steel string guitar. I seriously recomend looking into a cheap beginner pack that would include an electric guitar, small amp, cable, often a tuner, gig bag, cable, and instructional material. While not being great guitars, these cheap electrics aren’t as fragile as an acoustic of the same price range. Sting height, and a varitey of other factors are easily adjustable on an electric making for a much easier steel string guitar for a beginner to learn on. Poor playing guitars are the number one reason I’ve seen beginner and student guitar players quit. I would highly recomend buying from a local store. Most stores will agree to to a “setup” or full set of adjustments if you make a term of the sale on any new guitar you purchase. Lastly, and mabey most importantly, at his age your nephue will probably percieve an electric guitar as being “cooler” than an acoustic. If he sees the guitar as cool, he sees himself playing it as cool, giving him greater desire to spend time with the instrument, but also a boost in self esteem and confidence. Beginner guitar packs sell for $250 and up in most places. Or you could buy an affordable electric and make a deal with your nephue, agreeing to purchase an amplifier after he has been playing for X amount of time, or learned X number of songs, or taken X number of lessons.
