I bought my youngest daughter a $150 Yamaha Beginners guitar when she was 9 for her birthday. I didnt think she would actually keep at it...now shes almost 12 been taking lessons for around 2 years and ready to join the middle school band next year. I'm also surprised how well shes taken care of it. Her twin brother is getting the new Xbox so I decided it's time to get her a real intermediate level acoustic/electric guitar.
I've been looking at the Fender Redondo or Malibu and I'm wondering if that's the way to go and what type of Amplifier is best suited for that style of guitar for $150 to $200?
Two quick questions, and then I'll try to help if I can:
1.) Do you know if her beginner guitar that she currently uses is full size? (If you can tell me the model number I'll look it up if you're not sure. The model number will probably be on a sticker in the soundhole)
The reason I ask is, depending on her size, a full scale guitar might be uncomfortable for a little bit, at least until she's grown into it. If she's on the small side, that model you've listed may be a little big. (Not necessarily the end of the world, but there are different body shapes and shorter necks that might be more comfortable)
2.) Does she need an amp to play with friends or outside of the house, or will she just be playing at home?
The reason I ask this, is there a lot of really nice options she can use with both headphones and to hook up to her computer.
