I started my son out on a Baby Taylor at age 10.

He took 4 years of private lesson using the Taylor for 2 of those years, and then I got him a full size classical.

I got the Baby because it stayed in tune and it sounded good for a little guitars.

My son then went on to Jazz band in 6th & 7th grade, and then 2 more years of Classical guitar in high school.

He never lost interest and is now a MONSTER guitar player who can play jazz, classical, rock, funk, or just about any genre of music.

I think if's VERY important that the 1st guitar he starts on is comfortable to play, stays in tune, has low string action ,and sounds good.

It made all the difference in the world for keeping my son interested in staying with the guitar.
