3/4 Size Guitar Tips

Let's take a look at a three-quarter scale guitar, again, suitable for young people or somebody needing a much smaller sized instrument. These are entry-level instruments, but much higher quality ones can be gotten. For most people, and youth that are just starting, these are fine. This instrument is all plywood construction. It has a nice gloss finish on it, and traditionally, it has open-faced tuners for this style of guitar. The head stock on this is slotted, and is after a classical guitar style. This particular guitar has a bridge that bolts to the top of the guitar in order to secure it, to withstand the pull of the strings. This has a smaller neck. And, as with all of the guitars in our store, they've been checked to make sure they're playable. Sometimes department store guitars are not, and the department store won't know. This is a three-quarter, laminated construction, plywood guitar suitable for beginners.
