[QUOTE="ron g, post: 707556, member: 13653"] don't let him put steel strings on a nylon string guitar. i did that with my first guitar back in the day which was a gallo branded, bellini made pos. i would advise second hand to get the best for your money - local cash crusaders generally have at least one or more cort guitars for good prices. stay away from the normal pearl river, sanchez etc. some people may continue after starting on them, but far more people give up, not realising that the guitar is making their life difficult. michon is definitely the exception rather than the rule. let him sit with it & "play" for a while before buying so that he can feel if the fit is comfortable. watch for bowing of the neck - the action height increases dramatically between the far end of the neck, and the portion closest to the body. also watch that the soundboard is flat & has not bent, and that the saddle / bridge is flat & parallel to the body, and not twisted.
