Which guitar size is better to learn for a 14 year old?
I am 14 and i would like to learn the classical guitar i have looked everywhere but i cant find an answer. Which size guitar would be the best for me to learn?
You are old enough for a full size guitar. Full size classical guitars have a scale length around 650 mm (25 1/2"). Scale length is the length from the nut to the saddle, that is, the length of the part of the string that vibrates.
Good luck, and don’t forget to get lessons.
unless you are very small framed i’d get a standard size as you will grow into it.If your playing is not restricted to classical then get a 3/4 size electric and an effects pedal that will convert it to acoutic/classical/electric special effects/emulations.A fiftey squid effects box can replicate many types of guitars n amps ,this versatility can be very encouraging for learners ,if a bit overwhelming.
If you just want classical and are to stay in that genre then try to get the best you can afford

Pro guitarist. I own a Jose Ramirez classical.
If you are not very small I would recomend a full size guitar.

I’m 13 and have a full size guitar, it is perfect.
As hard as it may seem, only you can know that!
Simply go down to the local shop & ask to try out a few guitars. The one that feels the best & which doesn’t seem to cause your fretting fingers too much unneccessary pain is the one to go with.
And I agree with a previous poster: unless you have a small frame, a standard sized nylon string classical should do you well.
