The standard tuning (from low to high) is F♯, B, E, A, D, G, B, E. Many prefer to tune the F♯ to a low E (E1), the same note as the lowest string on a four-string electric bass in standard tuning, and providing the guitar with a fuller sound by having three different E strings.

Tuning a half-size guitar is tuned in the same fashion as a 3/4 or full-size guitar, but may use different notes than the standard guitar tuning used on larger guitars (depending on the make and model).
