1. I am a cheap bastard
2. My kids play too many instruments

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

Ohohoho man. You have a lot of music lovers in your home. And the part with the cheap bastard does not help you at all. I can suggest you to try saving more money, so you will have more possibilities of buying your son a guitar. You can find cheap options on the internet for a guitar, something like second hand which will not be too expensive for you. You can search for those on a country guitar tab, where I am sure are other persons who are willing to help you. That's all I had to say, hope you will manage with your children's dreams. Goodbye.
