best acoustic guitars for girls image
Taylor
I really want an acoustic guitar and I was wondering what would be the right size. I'm only 5'1 so would a 40 inch guitar work or would it have to be smaller/bigger? Please help, thanks!
Answer
You are big enough for a full size guitar. Full size guitars have a scale length of 24 1/2" to 25 1/2" where scale length is defined as the distance from nut to saddle, that is, the length of the part of the string that vibrates. Overall length is meaningless.
If you are looking at those inexpensive (under $100) guitars on eBay, forget it. They're complete pieces of crap. Buy a guitar from a guitar store and nowhere else.
Good luck.

Wanted to play acoustic guitar for a long while and I've finally decided to buy one but don't know what size I should get, I'm a 5''6 girl. Also if anyone knows any decent places to get then from that are cheap that would be helpful aswell.
Answer
Size, sometimes matters. But only the body (style) of the guitar. As there are smaller body styles that some players will be comfortable with.
Anyones' height is not relevant, or size, or weight, or even hands, or arms, or fingers.
As they all can be compensated through a variety of playing methods.
And, get to a real music store or GC that has a variety of guitar in stock, and try them out. Take someone with you who is already a player to help in making a decision.
Cheap is as cheap does. And inexpensive guitars can come across well for many beginners. No such thing as a beginner guitar, but there are some even good, well made and fair sounding instruments to choose from.
Expect to pay $125 - $400 for your first guitar. Really. Especially looking for one with a 'solid' top and not a laminate veneer. But with some brands, they (plywood layer tops) can come across well too and provide an instrument that will last several years.
Look for: Alvarez; Art & Lutherie; Cort; Dean; Epiphone; Ibanez; Jasmine; Johnson; Norman; Samick; Seagull; Walden; Washburn and Yamaha.
Saying, better guitars are around $600 - $1000.
Stay away from 'package' deals or those that come in a box, on display.
