Cute kids!!!

The thought of that little fella with a looooong SG neck in his hands is a bit unsettling...can he make the stretch?

How about the Ibanez Micro I posted Nate?He can shred with that one.

Oh, train those shredders young!

Cool to see that there's an honest alternative to the Squier Mini, though.

A good kid-sized starter acoustic is the Baby Taylor. I picked one up used for $200 for my grand-nephew's next birthday (he'll be 7), and it plays and sounds very nice, yet is the right size for a young'n.

I saw one at work. A very cool little acoustic.

I like the look of that Ibanez. That might be a good one too.

Here's older picture of my nephew at age 7.

He's now 16, 6'5", has five guitars, a bass, and a drum kit. Needless to say, he plays circles around me.
