My son wants to try the guitar. I'm not taking this too seriously but I'm a firm believer in letting my kids try whatever avenues they might have passion for. He's a great kid, works hard at things and follows directions very well so maybe this will be a good fit for him. That being said I know nothing about guitars and need a little guidance as to what I should get him in an electric.
I'm not worried so much about brands or collector quality stuff... more interested in styles and sizes. He's a very tall 9 year old and looks like he's 12 or so if that matters in regards to size.
So given the admittedly limited info I gave, any advice on a starting point? Guitar Center has a Black Friday deal on a Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar Value Pack which is normally $300 with the amp for $99. Seems like a low risk deal to me but what do I know. Any reason this would be a poor setup for him? Maybe too big or something? Thanks guys.
