Re: [SurfGuitar101] Re: Guitar opinion Help please

The Squier Strat mini was the first guitar I bought for my then 7 year old son,
when he showed an interest in learning.
All I can say is, "Don't Bother!" The Squier Mini wouldn't set-up properly, and
the neck width at nut was close to a Fender "B" neck, WAY too large for my son
to get his hand and fingers around.
Was in another music store and saw these gorgeous sunburst mini-Strats that
actually had Kid-Sized necks! Retail around $129, but regularly sold at
$89-$99. It's the Johnson Mini Strat, and it seemed a lot better in quality,
and it sure got played a lot more than that Squier, which despite the short
scale, was still more an adult's guitar in terms of neck width.
