Junior Electric Guitar – the most important at a glance

As a beginner, you may be looking for an electric guitar that is stylish, yet affordable and easy to play. A “junior” electric guitar is a good option for you. Junior electric guitars are smaller in scale, and usually have lighter gauge strings, which makes them easier to play. They also tend to be less expensive than fullsize electric guitars.

Some things to keep in mind when shopping for a junior electric guitar:

Scale length: This is the distance between the nut and the saddle. A shorter scale length means the strings are easier to press down. Most junior electric guitars have a scale length of 22.5” or 23”.

String gauge: This refers to the thickness of the strings. Lighter gauge strings are easier to press down.

Body size and shape: Junior electric guitars have smaller bodies than fullsize electric guitars. They come in a variety of shapes, including Les Paul, Stratocaster, and Telecaster.

Pickups: This refers to the type of microphone that captures the sound of the strings. The most common types of pickups are single coil and humbucker. Single coil pickups tend to have a brighter sound, while humbuckers are more mellow.

Controls: Most junior electric guitars have two knobs: one for volume and one for tone.

Now that you know what to look for in a junior electric guitar, here are some of our top picks:

The Squier Mini is a great option for beginners. It has a short scale length of 22.75”, making it easy to play. It also has three single coil pickups, providing a bright sound.

The Epiphone Les Paul Special II is a good choice if you’re looking for a guitar with a classic Les Paul shape. It has a scale length of 24.75” and two humbucker pickups, making it a bit more difficult to play than the Squier Mini.

The Yamaha Pacifica 112V is another great option for beginners. It has a scale length of 22.2”, making it easy to play. It also has a single coil pickup in the neck position and a humbucker in the bridge position, providing a versatile sound.

Now that you know what to look for in a junior electric guitar and some of our top picks, you’re ready to start shopping!
