Here is a review of a few 3/4 electric guitars that are sized perfectly for younger beginners that have smaller hands. The necks and bodies are smaller than that of a full size axe, where short scale guitars have full size bodies and thicker but shorter necks.
Both make good travel guitars, but only the 3/4 is designed for smaller hands.
I recommend the following five because they are well made and the price is right for all of them…
