My son's first guitar...
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!
My 8 year old son got his first guitar for Christmas today and he's really enjoying it! Inexpensive SG clone but for him there's nothing better. ;-)  If any of your kids have got an axe today please share here!!

Re: My son's first guitar...
Congratulations to your son!!!
That's a gift your son will always remember. 27 years ago today my whole world changed....  My Grandparents got me my first guitar for Christmas all those years ago. Yes, I am left-handed, and I started out playing that way, but I switched to "righty" when I was about 12. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Re: My son's first guitar...
Very nice. I bought my 7 year old nephew a Gitano 3/4 acoustic for Christmas. A new kids guitar.$40.00. Smoke on the Water riff, priceless.

Two thumbs up from me to you and the missus for encouraging your son's interest in music.

Re: My son's first guitar...
That's an awesome gift you got for your son, and one he'll probably always remember.
It's great when parents care enough to contribute to their children's musical desires. That's a gift that means a lot, and can go much further towards developing a lifelong love of music. Merry Christmas!

Re: My son's first guitar...
I don't think I've mentioned that Leon, although with a good intelligence, has got a mild form of autism: Everyday life is not always that straight forward for him but music has always made a lot of sense, somehow.
As I said Greg Martin ( of the Mighty Jeremiahs, Rufus Huff, Kentucky Headhunters,... ) is his favourite guitar player and Greg has told me that he's going to be sending a few perks to go with the guitar. God bless his soul... 10/10 for such a player and human being as Greg Martin!!!

Re: My son's first guitar...
Man you got it, it's not so much the guitar but what that guitar will do for your son and for your relationship with him! Great you posted this!
I bet you a whole lot of years from now he will probably have his share of expensive ones, but that SG will always remain special to him, even if he parts with it later on. Merry Christmas.
