Kids Guitars Northern Ireland

Buying the right size guitar for your child is one of the most important decisions you'll make.

Many beginner guitars are simply too big for younger children. When a guitar is too large, it becomes difficult to hold, uncomfortable to play and frustrating to learn on.

That's why we stock a range of beginner guitar bundles sized for different age groups, from 1/4 size guitars for ages 5–6 through to full-size guitars for teenagers and adults.

Each bundle includes everything needed to get started, including a guitar, tuner, stand, bag and access to beginner learning resources.
