Thread Name: 3/4 size guitar
Subject: RE: 3/4 size guitar
McGrath: When I was beginning to play guitar, I found the nylon strings difficult to manage because of their shape and thickness; my fingers kept slipping off them! Steel strings were much easier to press down, even before my calluses formed. Also, most nylon-string guitars have a wider fingerboard, which makes chording more difficult for smaller hands.
