If he's interested in acustics get him an acoustic, if he's more into electric guitars well.. you get my point.
That's at least how I see it. If I had been given an acoustic to start with I don't think I'd been so keen on continue playing since I was looking for mad distrtion Just my opinion. I'm don't know so much about acoustic guitars other than I had a low budget party of guitars to sell but I simply had to return the whole lot since they were so low quality. If I tuned them so open chords sounded right a barré chord was out of tune. If I tuned them to a barré A or even G then open chords were out. So much crap my concience forbid me to sell them out of the simple reason I might sell it to someone looking forward to learn and the guitar I sold took all the fun out of guitar. $70 is cheap even in the US, right? I get a feeling, based on my own experience, that guitar will not do the job. I think it's a great idea though and it sounds like fun with a kid who's into guitar This post has been edited by MickeM: Oct 21 2008, 11:05 PM -------------------- My bands homepage

Ibanez Makes an "RG Mikro" for around $150, and its a great guitar for kids, as well as a nice travel guitar!

I suggest nylon strings for beginners, especially children.. steel strings may harm their fingers

It's small enough for kids too. This post has been edited by Disturbed21: Oct 25 2008, 12:23 AM -------------------- Enter The Doom And Gloom If You Dare Below This Message

Well you could go with the electric straightforward May be more appealing to him to so he may stick with playing an instrument..
