 The Valencia guitar brand was created in Melbourne, Australia in 1972. Today Valencia is the No. 1 selling guitar brand in many countries and, arguably, the world. 

An Excellent First Nylon String Classical Guitar! The Valencia Series 100 is a fully-featured, nylon string guitar that’s affordable enough for any guitarist. Its neck scale length allows you to play with true classical fingerstyle. As a result, it is just what you need to develop proper playing technique. Whether you’re a very young player or a little older, the Series 100 range offers a wide choice of instrument sizes. This ensures a correct fit for all players.

Linden top, back and sides. ABS black bound body and fingerboard. Nato neck with ebonized maple fingerboard and bridge. Veneered head-stock. Nickel machine heads with white buttons. Supplied with Valencia UPlay Guitar Guide and free online lessons.

Smaller-scale guitars are produced to assist children in learning the instrument as the narrower neck and shorter scale length makes it easier for smaller hands. Valencia guitars are available in ¼, ½, ¾ and 4/4 or full size.

The guitar size you choose for your child is an essential determining factor affecting the child’s ability to play the guitar. A guitar that is too large may be very difficult to play, whilst a child playing a guitar that is too small may develop poor technique.

There are no hard and fast rules but in general:

  • 4 to 6 year olds, ranging in height from 99cm to 114cm, should choose a ¼ size guitar.

  • 5 to 8 year olds, ranging in height from 117cm to 135cm, a ½ size.

  • 8 to 11 year olds, ranging in height from 137cm to 150cm, a ¾ size guitar.

  • 11+ who are at least 5′ (152 cm) tall can have a standard, 4/4 or full-size guitar.
