Standard guitar tuning is E-A-D-G-B-E, going from the sixth string (the thickest) to the first string (the thinnest). For a 1/2-size guitar, however, standard tuning is often A-D-G-C-E-A.

What age is a 1/2 size guitar for?
1/2 (half-size) Guitar
Half size guitars are aimed at 5-8 year-olds, which makes them quite popular since many children start taking guitar lessons at this age. 1/2 size guitars are tuned just like real guitars, so children get a genuine guitar experience with this instrument.
