[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely! I'm a musician and so are both my kids, and and I started them off on inexpensive instruments first. There is no point at all in spending lots of money for equipment for a hobby you have no idea if they'll still want to do in two weeks. [b]I recommend going to The Guitar Center store.[/b] They've got plenty in that range and will be able to assist you with specific brands and such. Once you have some names in mind, you can even then look for used ones on Craigslist or Facebook.[/quote] I would also suggest giving a gift certificate and taking DS after Christmas to select a guitar that fits. When beginning it is important to get the neck size right.It is very frustrating for a beginner with small hands to try and learn various notes and hand positions on a neck that's too wide. I would personally also recommend starting with a nylon string guitar. Steel strings hurt a lot![/quote]
