So i have a 6 yo boy and a 9 yo girl who have both taken an interest in guitar since their old man got back into playing several months ago. I'd like to surprise each of them with an electric guitar of their own at Christmas but am feeling a bit stumped at the limited selection out there. I've done some looking on Craigslist and have seen a few acoustics pop up from time to time but not too many electrics.
We visit the local GC here (only 10 min) away quite often and i let them play on the pink & black Fender i think they're called mini or Jr? They are about $100. I'm not well versed in electric guitars as i just purchased a PRS of my own earlier this month but my concern is buying one of these cheap models of a fender is going to be a waste of $. Yes i know buying guitars for two kids is a bit of a gamble in and of itself but i'm more concerned in this from a quality stand point. Will this guitar stay in tune? Will it fall apart?
Anyone on here have any personal experience buying a guitar for a son or daughter and can lend some advice on a decent entry level guitar or should i take the plunge on the fenders?
