You Guitar guys!! I have a question.....

[Ponch ®]

I bought my son a fender squire, he still has it . he also has a gretch. he taught him self of the internet and now he and his brother, ( a drummer) are starting up a christian rock band, and even though i'm biased , they ROCK . music is the best thing you can gget kids into. both my boys were in band in school, and caried it on from there. you did well with the squire they are great beginners. look for a GUITAR CENTER in your area. they have the best prices on name brand instruments anywhere.  from one OLD MAN to another,,,,ROCK ON DUDE  TK

Good for your son...but @ Christian rock.

That's like a Prius with a gun turret.

I would vote for a second step guitar a Yamaha Pacifica or Washburn...

Yamaha Pacifica is good enough even like e keeper one, not just a second step. However the BIG line on Yamaha about strings instrumemts are Basses ( top of line ones ) and Acoustic guitars, specially APX4 and 6 ( steel and nylon )

Washburn guitars are a little bit harder feel, but good enough to a profesional, depending on model.

I have a Pacifica. Bought it a few months ago so I could have something laying around that I could just pick up whenever I felt like jamming (as opposed to having to go to my closet, dig through a bunch of stuff, get the case with the Les Paul, etc) and not worry too much about. It actually plays better than my other guitars, and I only paid $60 for it (used). The sound leaves something to be desired, even with the bridge humbucker pickup, but the playability is awesome.

That's exactly the reason why I have an Eterna Acoustic in my office..
Eterna is made by Yamaha but you can get them at all kinds of places including Costco (at one point anyway)

The sound is actually pretty decent as the body is large - they use the same body for 6 and 12 string guitars.

I read a lot of stuff on the PC - for work - and I always pick up the guitar and noodle while reading...
