It shouldn't be(unless he is a dwarf).Seriously,the best way to tell is to take he or she to a music store and try out full size and 3/4 size Guitars.If the reach is too far then it may be too big.It probably wont be too big.Also keep in mind that a 13 year old will grow.My 10 year old daughter started off with 3/4 size guitars and now she is using full size.The best way is to have them try out different sizes and see which one they feel most comfortable with.

A 3/4-sized guitar would be a better choice. If you consider buying an electric guitar, keep in mind that it's quite heavy for a 9-year old and frequently carrying it on a strap may result in spinal disorders - so I was told in a guitar shop.


What size guitar is good for a 12 year old?

Depends upon the size of the 12 year old. Sorry, couldn't resist. I have 12 year old students and I stronhly recommend a standard scale, full size guitar. A smaller neck will only rob the child of a lot of progress when he/she decides to step up.

Is a 39'' electric guitar good for a 11 year old?

Speaking from experience, there was once a young boy I knew who started to play from the age of 5, beginning with a smaller guitar. A few years later, he discovered that the full sized guitar was very difficult to play, regardless of the skill he learned with the smaller guitar. I began learning the guitar at the age of 8 and I began with a full sized guitar. The only challenges I had was changing to a guitar that had a higher action (strings further away from the fretboard and pickups) or one with a slightly wider neck. I've never measured the size of a guitar, but my advice would be to give the 11 year old a full sized guitar. Switching to another or newer guitar does not require a greater transition.
