3. My 8 yr old left-handed boy needs an electric guitar
4. He has never played guitar
5. We want to start him on a right-handed guitar
6. If I'm buying a guitar, I want a Gibson LP, SG or Fender Strat
7. I am a cheap bastard
8. If I'm buying an amp/cabinet, I want a Marshall
9. Mexican Strats are $200 used to $400 new. SG's more. Cheap LPs more
10. 30w Marshalls are less than $250
11. Did I mention the cheap bastard part?
Are we wrong forcing the RH guitar? Music teacher said its better if he's never played yet.
Are cheap Fenders and Gibsons much worse than other brands? Same for Marshall.
Music teacher said electric better than acoustic to start. This seems strange to me..
All advice appreciated, I know I've come to the right place.
Thanks
