My number one concern, of course, was quality of craftsmanship and sound quality. The price was a surprise. More about that in a moment.

Finding A Grown Up Guitar For Small Adult Hands

When I played guitar in the 50's and 60's, I was limited by having small hands. There were certain tunes I could just not stretch to play. In those days a guitarist had to spend a couple thousand dollars for a custom made git with a short neck or resign themselves to a limited song list. That's not the case today!

I now play tunes that were almost impossible and I play them comfortably. The quality? The sound? I give this git a 100% positive rating!

I looked at the Fender Squire and the Ibanez Mikro. The Fender, frankly, got poor ratings from musicians and from newbies. The Ibanez, on the other hands, scored a 90% satisfactory rating among the same group. Based on that, I bought the Ibanez Mikro for under $130.00 including Free Shipping and Handling. I have not been disappointed.

Back in the day we had a pretty successful local band. We played all the "sock hops" and even made a nice living playing road gigs in the tri-state area of Ohio, New York, and Pennsylvania under the names of "The Crazy Tones" and "The Challets". I mainly played rhythm guitar and, on occasion, I played keyboard on certain songs. One thing I never played and never learned was lead guitar, the ultimate goal for all guitar players I think.

In the process I discovered two manufacturers of short neck guitars. I thought - "These must be for kids and girls." But, once I looked over the specifications I realized they were not the guitars sold by toy stores at all. These were versions of full size guitars that are downsized for small adults with small hands and, yes, even for the aspiring lady pickers and teens.
