Bikenbass Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Hi folks. My ten year old Son would like to learn to play a six string. Does anyone have experience regarding what to look for/avoid when choosing one? I don't want to spend a fortune, as it may just be a passing fancy, but equally, I don't want to put him off by buying something difficult to play. Thanks in advance.

barkin Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) I did the same for my daughter a few years ago. All of the 3/4 size ones, in my price bracket, that I looked at either felt a bit toy-like or didn't sound great. I ended up getting her a small-bodied full-size one. I've a Squier Mini Strat that I'm thinking of selling... Edited June 25, 2014 by barkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep the mini strat in mind, but that's quite a way off yet. Regards, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelfin Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Crafter Junior, electro / acoustic. I bought one for my son a few years ago. Lovely action. Had a similar feel to a Les Paul. Having said that I have just googled images and can't find one to show you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
