re: #254 MandyManners

he’s still quite young. Buy him something cheap, maybe $100-$200. I’d recommend a nylon string classical guitar, it’s easier on the fingers. Sign him up for some lessons (group or private), he’ll learn how to tune it and a few chords but don’t make him treat it like a priceless gem. He’s going to beat on it with Lincoln Logs and put cheerios inside. That’s good because it’s a fun toy, let him play and experiment. If he wants to continue you can progress to a steel string in a few years then on to an electric. He’ll learn to respect them in time but start out cheap and let him play.
