But what guitar size is right for my kid?

I’m glad you are asking about the right size of acoustic guitar for your kid. Indeed it is a tough question because children can grow really quickly! The shoes that fit well a month ago might be a little too small now. But hey this is not a wearable so it does not have to be that precise. TL;DR we reckon an acoustic guitar that is comfortable to hold. The child should not feel like he is reaching far out or if the frets are too tiny for their fingers.
