[quote=Anonymous]It's worth spending the money to get a decent instrument. You'll want to make sure it suits his hands, and he likes how the body fits into his body. Around $100 will be fine. The Snark tuner is a favorite of the child musician in this house, and she was stunned by how many picks can fit in a standard issue Christmas stocking. (It's what she asked for for Christmas a couple years ago. We are never going to have to buy more picks.) Consider a trip to the music store to pick up some music, and maybe some pointers to some of the (many) decent intro-to-guitar lessons on youtube. It can also be worthwhile to get a few lessons from a music store just to help with the basics. Also, consider a case. Does he want to play with friends? Just bang around at home? Set him up so he can transport it safely. And I found that having a guitar stand meant the guitar got played a lot more than storing it in its case. Stands are inexpensive.[/quote]
