p.s. thanks to this blog my girlfriend now describes my hands as “Racoon Paws”, lol!

Also tips for any small-handed guitarists out there – look for a guitar with a thin narrow neck. For me my Yamaha Pacifica 112 and Yamaha RGX321 are both perfect for those with smaller reach.
i also own a Fender Jag-Stang which probably has the smallest neck ive ever played on any guitar, so thats worth considering too, though it doesnt sound too hot for lead.

Finally, its worth checking out is the Daisy Rock ‘Rock Candy’ range..theyre designed for girls with tiny girly hands, and their guitars are awesome!

For small handed bassests (yes i play bass too..and no small hands dont really hinder you!) I’ve found the best basses are the Fender Jazz (very narrow neck, also sounds beautiful) and the Peavey Millenium (same reasons).

Finally, dont let having small hands pout you off playing your instrument – everyone finds it hard at first, it has nothing to do with your hand size!

they were 9″ she had really long fingers. she said that her brothers were even bigger! she also told me that her little sister had bigger hands than me!
tom, she was just being friendly, i would tease her back about her giant hands. we would compare a lot and joke about them. we were an odd couple in terms of hands because mine were freakishly small and hers freakishly big.

Gus, was your girlfriend teasing in a friendly affectionate way, or was she being mean?

hope it didnt add to your insecurities!

my current boyfriend’s hands are pretty big for his height. I have a friend who is the same height and his hands were much smaller. I actually prefer my friend’s hand size to hold but I like that my boyfriend’s hand is big and strong.

mine would fit nicely with yours but a lot of girls might be freaked out if their hands are bigger than their man’s.
how big are the biggest hands you have ever held?

I can’t see a problem with small hands especially if the other person’s hands are small as well. Then they should just fit in nicely. With any luck lol
