[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another guitar player here.

Does he NEED a 4K Martin?  No.  But it sounds like he's put a lot more serious, self-directed, self-driven hours into practice of his instrument than just about any teenager I know.  If the 4K won't set you back unduly, and since he's likely going to spend much of the summer at home with not a lot to do, and possibly some/all of the school year if the virus forces new shutdowns in the fall, why not?  Better to be putting that much time into perfecting his craft (which is an ability he'll have throughout his life) than spending every waking hour online, watching Netflix, videogames, etc.

(P.S.  Martins really are solid, long-term instruments, especially in that price range)[/quote]

This.

I’ve played for 50 years including professional gigs as a sideline at times.  The Seagul if it’s an S6 or similar is an excellent basic guitar and should be totally serviceable.

That said, if he’s been at it for a while and is motivated, and you can afford it, a more expensive guitar can be justified, if not critical.  They’re both guitars he can keep for years, taking the Seagull places the Martin May be more at risk.[/quote]
