As the title states This guitar will be for my daughter "Cami". Hopefully I get it done by her birthday. Oct 17

I really liked how pinefd's guitars look and casey's (greasebox). Can't forget his

I rounded up some wood from northridge for the build and am sitting with the stewmac book in front of me getting ready to order parts.

I have a couple of questions to start and probably many more as I go.

What is everybody's opinion on frets for a 9 year old girl? Anything I should
lean toward's to help her out as far as size goes?

Also, As far as the neck, I plan on doing the 20.7" scale as pinefd but was wondering if I should make the neck a little narrower, but still able to cover the poles of the pickups?

Any advice would be appreciated, I want to make this playable for her if she wants to take lessons as well as being an eirloom <sp> for her to hang on to.

I also need to figure out what to put on the headstock, Not doing the gibby logo this time. Maybe "Camille" in script out of mop? I also like "small paul" and "les tall" for the silk screening but obviously they are taken.
I'd like to hear any ideas if anybody has any.

Thanks in advance!!
