TWANG[/quote'] How big a kid we talkin'? Does it have to be steel strung? A guitar teacher friend of mine recommends Strunal for fractional sized guitars. These folks carry them on line: https://www.ymonline.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=1044 He says they are affordable and are not junk. I think he said they are made in Czechoslovakia... or whatever it's called now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I have yet to find one of those "kiddie" size guitars that are worth a darn. In something a little more substantial ya might look at something like a Simon and Patrick parlor guitar. Seagull guitars also give you alot of bang for your buck. What I ended up doing was buying my daughter a strum stick. Basically a three-string dulcimer you strap over your shoulder and play with either a pick or your fingers. Big advantage is that since they are open tuned, a kid can easily pick out songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I know I've weighed in on this before, but this is a great little Korean made Epi Orville and should be able to be found for around $200 and includes an Epi OEM Shadow preamp/pickup: The chick is extra though...

abbeyroadman Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hi - When my daughter was in the 4th grade, I bought her an all-wood Yamaha, kid-sized. It stays in tune, minimal set-up required for action that she could manage. I actually use every once in a while. Met the objective. Hope this helps, Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan1281734152 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Hey Twang, I played a Wechter Parlor guitar once, and thought it was really a nice instrument. It may be worth looking up. Good luck with your mission. Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
