...since my goal is to get my kid to play Sting/Police songs! A couple questions for you guitar buffs out there. My 7 year old is dying to play the guitar. He just started lessons with the teacher's Baby Taylor acoustic guitar. I'm not about to shell out $300 for one not knowing if this is just a whim for him. Would it be TERRIBLE for him to learn on an electric guitar? (Of course this is his ultimate goal) My neighbor just lent me a Fender for him to use. If you think it's not a good idea to start that way, what starter guitar would you recommend? We tried one of those $50 kids deals and it was HORRIBLE. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Sorry to use the list for this, hope you don't mind. Please reply privately, I'm sure not everyone is interested in my latest task at hand. Michelle
