Guitar purchase suggestions

---

Important consideration when choosing a new guitar-

Don’t get anything smaller than full-size i.e. avoid 3/4 size (sometimes called "student-size")

Anything smaller than full-size will be out-grown by the age of 9 or 10

Please check out the local music stores!

The nearest shops are Wisbech Music Centre and Roadhouse Music (in Boston) and definitely worth a visit and mention my name for a deal. Both shops are really helpful and if you have any issues you can pop back to the shop though i can usually assist with most issues/strings/set-up/etc. This will also give you the chance to check out and play the instruments and get a better idea of what is is you are buying.

Obviously, spending more will get you a better instrument but any of those should be ideal first-time guitars. Could also buy just the guitar (most above are packages with amp* + guitar) which will get the pupil going for now then perhaps let Santa bring an amp for christmas?) *amp being short for "amplifier"

After playing for a year or more, the player will start to know what it is they like about a particular guitar, whether that be the shape, the sound or the feel, besides the aesthetics. This will certainly infulence future choices.
