SHS 1/2 size electric guitar package left handed

SmallGuitars.com was a HUGE discovery. My son has been "playing" a toy acoustic for two years and is showing a real interest in music. We decided to surprise him with an electric guitar and lessons for the holidays. Two problems - he's only 4 1/2 and he's a lefty. Our local Guitar Center only carries 3/4-size right handed guitars. So I took to the net. Luckily, SmallGuitars.com came up right away on a Google search and had exactly what he needed. I ordered a 1/2-size, left-handed electric guitar kit. Ordering was easy and it arrived in just a few days. In addition, SmallGuitars followed up with timely order and shipping confirmations. Best of all is the look on my son's face when he rocks out. I just wish SmallGuitars offered big earplugs! Thanks SmallGuitars.com. I'm sure we'll be back for more...he has a little brother.

This guitar was suggested as the best option available for my left-handed 4 year old son. We knew it would be a bit big and heavy for him, thanks to the Small Guitars staff helping us. The package itself is fantastic value - you get a solid guitar, soft carry case, good length lead, strap, surprisingly good headphone amp and headphones, alun key and DVD. The guitar feels solid, weighty and well-made for the price. It seems to stay in tune, but at regular tunings you do get the expected fret buzz and tuning difficulties, as with all small guitars. However, tuned up a fifth, the guitar sounds much better. My son was able to fret a few notes easily, which is a really good sign that this is a decent guitar. His fingers are tiny! Summing up, it is a good guitar and an excellent package. Finally, if you are buying from abroad, like us, beware of any import taxes that may be imposed by your greedy government!

My No. 2 granddaughter, a six year old southpaw, is obsessively interested in learning to play guitar. We tried to get her to learn to play right handed but the attempt was futile. She insisted on turning it upside down and backwards until she would no longer maintain her interest. I searched for a left handed model strat style for months. None were to be found, not in a mini size (3/4). Then, with the help of google, I chanced upon "smallguitars.com" where I not only found a left handed guitar but a 1/2 size, even smaller than her strat. It is just what the doctor ordered. She's back in business, her enthusiasm is, once again waxing and with the help of the included accessories (strap, cable, pics, tremolo bar, pre amp and head phones) she can play any time she has time and in silence if she wants (sometimes, that's good) as well as through her amplifier when she wants to show what's she's learned. The small size fits her small hands and doesn't weigh her down and hurt her back. Thank you, small guitars for making this possible.
