Tommy is just a year old, but I want to start him off right with some decent guitar gear. The Squier Mini feels and plays like its big brother, and the Fender Mustang amp has a tuner, digital effects, and amp modelling that sounds remarkably authentic. That guitar should do him until about age 12, and the amp is a capable practice/recording rig that could be a permanent part of his set-up.
I promised his parents that I'd kick in for a new full-size Strat (or his choice of guitar) when he has outgrown the Mini...

That is a very nice thing you did my friend!
Does he live close enough to get lessons from the master?

No, it's quite long way from central Ontario to upstate New York - but his parents have your e-mail address for when he's ready to travel...

I just hope he develops a real interest in music - you just never can tell True. His mother's best friend is a guitar maniac, his father has aspirations to learn the instrument, and his grandfather was once an accomplished electric bass player. We'll see how things develop - but at least now he has the tools to work with.

That little guy is off to a great start-that is provided of course,that he doesn't end up with an affinity for the ivory keys instead! -Thom

Marc, There was a time when that thought would have horrified me , but from what I have learned about keyboard instruments, MIDI controllers, and softsynths here at K-M, it is now an intriguing possibility. Thom, If he wants to go with keys, so be it. I'll buy him a computer, a keyboard, set him up with Kara-Moon, and give him your e-mail address - easy!

Kidding of course, Oren - I've always found the guitar and bass amazing instruments and I've always wished that I could play them!

It seems to me we have already heard your guitar playing in a recording, Marc. A rather nice bit of work, as I recall...
