3/4 guitar for a 9 year old?

[pryan67]

So, DD wants a guitar for Christmas...

 

we ordered one from Toys R Us, but it's WAY too small...it's going to be going to my 3 year old son to play with...

 

DD has no experience with guitars...and I don't want to spend a bundle (want to keep at 50 bucks if we can)....but I don't want junk either...

 

I was thinking the Squier...but that's more like 90...and we've already overspent on Christmas

 

 

anyone have any suggestions as far as brands go...or which brands to stay away from?

Are you looking for acoustic or electric? That will make a huge difference.

oops....I suppose I should have mentioned that she wants an acoustic...

I think that TRU has the Hannah Montana guitar on sale for $69.00

[pryan67]

she doesn't like Hannah Montana...

 

I'm hoping to get one like this:

but shipping will kill it, and I need it by Christmas *LOL*

 

there's a music store a couple of towns over that I might swing by today if the wind dies down (lots of blowing and drifting out here in Illinois) and see what they have. They have some new Squier guitars (made by Fender), but they're 90 bucks...and DW wants to keep it at 50

A pink acoustic guitar is all my 10 y/o DD wants for Christmas. According to the people who work at our local music store we needed a 36". We ended up getting her a pink one from WM. Instead of a case we bought her a metal stand for $15. Good luck!!
