Hi,

I'm an American living and working in Thailand. I have some fairly strong wood working skills as a hobbyist, and have considered doing a musical instrument as a project.

My 8yo son wants to learn to play "electric guitar." I've already coached him on the need to learn some of the basics on an acoustic guitar, which I already own, before trying to tackle an electric unit. Having said that, if he shows promise and wants to step up, I'd like for us to build him an electric unit together.

My question is...which unit is more suitable for a beginner player? I mean, I could look around the site to try to find a model that has less buttons and knobs, but if there is someone out there with more experience as a player, perhaps a quick note pointing me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Glenn
