My six year old Grandson has become infatuated with guitars and, thanks to his Dad, is a massive Gary Moore fan.
He loves to get out my guitars when he comes over but they are too big for him and keep slipping all over the place although he does love the sound of an amplified electric.
His Dad is going to buy him an elecrtic guitar and amp for Christmas so we went down to the shop so he could try out a Squier Mini Strat and check for size.
It looks just right for him and he loved it!
I said I would look out to see if I could spot a mint used Mini Strat for him and he wants red!
Apparently the latest models are upgraded from the originals but I haven't a clue why, anyone know which are best?
Anyway here he is in the shop.
Anticipation....
Realisation!

is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
It's great when they have that spark of enthusiasm
My two boys are 6 & 8, and love guitars too. Unfortunately, Isaac the Youngest has decided that Doubleneck SG's are his thing...........
Enjoy!

I hope your grandson sticks at it longer than my boy!
cheers

Excellent grandparenting, sir.
Grandchildren are great, you have a fantastic time .......and then then they go home.
Couple of small issues we keep having with it - the B string saddle is always loosening and the jack socket is pretty flimsy and no matter how many times I sort them out it keeps recurring. No big deal though and apart from that it's ideal for him and it seems that our younger son will be wanting it as soon as it's available.
Knowing my luck they'll be into synth and I'll end up with a house full of keys.
(who am I kidding, that would be fun too )
Just don't buy him a banjo......
I wish my parents had been so supportive but it was the 60's and guitars were spawned from the devil!! lol.
He now lives in the US so I can no longer hear him although he has an electronic kit now, when he was home it was an acoustic outfit.
Plus of course even cheapo electric guitars were silly money compared to nowadays.
