Wife looking at starting with a 3/4 guitar. Any input on beginner models? When she get good at 6 strings, i'll have her try 4 strings.
Classical or acoustic, i.e. nylon or steel strings?
Nylon. That claasical, right.
Although I’ve never tried one, the La Mancha guitars at seem to get decent reviews in Europe for the smaller size beginner guitars. Strings by mail has started to carry them. https://www.stringsbymail.com/manufacturers/lamanchaguitars-372/
Anyone try one?
Depending on your budget, Alhambra has smaller classical size guitarsor the cordoba c9/10 parlor. These will be much more expensive.
I have had them them all at one time or a another. The Taylor mini, Alvarez, Recording King, china Guild, Pono, compact small travel 3/4 guitar models...and so on.
NOTHING BEATS....the Martin Drednaught JR. for sound and playability
Thats my go to guitar.
its all solid wood, 1.75 nut for easy playing, compact, but sounds like a full size guitar.
The 3/4 size has different nut sizes (43 & 48) depending on the model.
