Hi Aquinas,
Just wanted to let you know we finally bought DS, now 4 and a half, a guitar and just started lessons. He loves the guitar and the teacher, so I'm feeling pretty happy about it right now.
The guitar we bought is the Cordoba Protege 1/2 size C1 with nylon strings. It was a little more expensive than some of the other options but sounds great. He may be 94% for height but this guitar is a little big for him. Am wondering if I should have gotten the 1/4 scale... His hands are huge though so he has no problem with the neck or strings. He seems to be right in between sizes...
If I had it to do over, I probably would have bought the 1/4 scale guitarworks for his 4th birthday and gotten this one as soon as he outgrew the guitarworks (which seems a bit more disposable). I have heard you shouldn't overspend on a 1/4 scale because a 1/2 scale will have a significant quality improvement. I don't know if that is true.
We didn't buy it then because he got inundated with stuff from the grandparents for his birthday. It was really just too much. I know, first world problem.
