🎸 The first guitar for young musicians with an authentic sound!

Guitarkid® was developed with the support of music education experts to perfectly suit the needs of young students. Its flat back, short scale, and neck width make it ergonomic and easy to play.

Unlike other instruments:

Guitalele: is tuned in A, which requires transcriptions to adapt it to a classical guitar repertoire.
1/4 Guitar: has larger dimensions, lower volume, and traditional nylon strings that do not provide a satisfactory response.

Guitarkid® is instead tuned like a classical guitar, but with special strings developed with innovative materials to offer a more defined sound and excellent playability. It is the perfect solution for young musicians who want a real guitar with a design tailored to their needs.

Is it a Guitalele or a Guilele?

No, despite the similarities, it isn’t. The main difference lies in the tuning, which is identical to a six-string classical guitar. Additionally, we’ve introduced innovative design features to amplify acoustic volume and enhance low-frequency response, making it a perfect replica of a classical guitar. However, it can be tuned to A or high E using a specific string set like our 187C.

Why hasn’t anyone else miniaturized a classical guitar like you have?

Think back to the 1950s, when the transistor revolutionized radios by making them portable. Similarly, our "transistor" is represented by the innovative bioplastic strings we call ‘Sugar,’ exclusive to our production.
This unique bioplastic, loaded with micronized iron, delivers superior performance compared to traditional Fluorocarbon strings: up to 24% more sustain and an 18% increase in sound power. Thanks to this cutting-edge technology, we’ve made it possible to miniaturize a classical guitar while maintaining its tonal characteristics.

Are all the strings made of Sugar?

No, the six strings are specifically designed with unique materials and constructions to ensure uniform tone and balanced acoustic volume.

First, second and third strings: made of Sugar enriched with iron powder (with a higher amount on the second string).
Fourth, fifth, and sixth strings: made of copper coated with a red varnish to reduce touch noise and prevent metal allergies.
Sixth string: uses aerospace-grade multifilament fibers for superior acoustic efficiency compared to traditional materials.

The goal is perfect tonal harmony, avoiding excessive brilliance that could unbalance the overall sound.

What materials and construction choices set this instrument apart?

The mahogany top ensures the warm, rich tone of a classical guitar, with particular emphasis on low frequencies. The neck and bridge are made of mahogany, while the fretboard and headstock finishing are in walnut, avoiding expensive or rare tropical woods.
The black embossed ABS body, similar to an ‘Ovation’ style, is a sustainable choice that reduces wood consumption, lowers costs, and enhances both acoustic volume and low-frequency resonance. In the future, we plan to replace ABS with a bioplastic.

Additional distinctive features include:

A neck width similar to that of a classical guitar for greater familiarity.
Neck joint at the 12th fret
