Do you like the sound, or rather the many sounds, of this instrument? There's hardly an instrument more stylistically versatile than an electric guitar. With a simple trick, a lighter 3/4 model can be made playable for smaller hands. The most important factor in your decision is the guitarist's desired style. If a child wants to play electric guitar, there's no point in spoiling their enjoyment with a classical guitar. It's also worth noting that it's easier to achieve initial success with an electric guitar! Important: be sure to ask questions before buying, especially about accessories. I'd be happy to recommend the ideal instrument and accessories (within your desired price range).

The "Classical Guitar" is probably the most common of the three basic guitar types. It's perhaps even the most difficult, as it requires about a dozen techniques with the strumming/plucking hand if you want to play the famous old classics cleanly. But don't be discouraged. This instrument is legendary, and you'll love it! Again, the main criterion is the style you want to play, which is primarily classical and Spanish classical music, and sometimes pop songs. However, this guitar is not suitable, or at least very difficult, for accompanying vocals.

The "acoustic guitar" is often equated with the "classical guitar," but it's actually much closer to the electric guitar. Its construction, playing technique, and style are fundamentally electric. Since the hard steel strings are difficult to fret cleanly without calluses, especially for beginners, I advise anyone under 12 against playing it. However, these guitars can sound incredibly beautiful, which is why I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to accompany songs or simply has a few years of experience.
