Cheap Chick Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 No.. it's not that I'm shrinking in my old age..Kid #2 wants a guitar for his birthday. Any recommendations? Anyone got a used one that their kid has outgrown?oh.. hi everyone!!!Pam
unfun75 Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Rondo has some very inexpensive short-scalers in strat and tele styles. Their stuff is usually a good choice, especially for the coin.http://www.rondomusic.com/electricguitar.html
Jeff R Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Pam, here's a pic like the Ibanez Mikro I picked up for my girlfriend's seven-year old two weeks ago. I played everything electric and 3/4-sized in the store and this was the undisputed winner.
carfish7 Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Pam, I have a super clean Hecho en Mexico Fender Duo-Sonic in black with a maple neck and fingerboard that my daughters have ignored for years and now outgrown. "22.5 scale (or thereabouts), nice slender neck and super light, but it isn't a toy by any means. It has 2 single coils and a hardtail bridge - no through the body stringing. It sounds really good and I noodle on it on occasion and wonder why my lovely chilluns never got tugged in by the charms of the electric guitar (they opted for Viola and Trombone instead - go figure!). It could be had for a very nice price, is almost as new, and I have a pea-shooter amp or 2 I could toss in if that isn't yet covered. Always liking to help further the musical interests of our youth. I'll toss a pic up later. Z

Thunderface Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Look for an early 80s Peavey T-15. Has the 23.5-inch scale like a Fender Mustang, but at a mere fraction of the price. They can be had for less than $200 with a hardshell case. American made, to boot.
cynic Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I second the Peavey T-15. Just bought one myself replacing one I had 25 years ago.
Cheap Chick Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 electric, natch. okay.. we looked at our options and my kid wants the daisy rock debutante star... a little six-string bootsy collins! i can't fault him for style points! when/if he gets bored with it, i'll rock that thing! dave - do you sell daisy rocks?
