The Les Paul Junior is an excellent full-sized beginner guitar for kids ages 11+. It was created by Epiphone (Gibson’s cheaper line of guitars) as a way for players to get an instrument that looks, sounds, and feels like a real Gibson Les Paul but at an affordable price. Since a brand new Gibson Les..
Gibson is the second biggest guitar company in the world (behind Fender), and they’re well known for making very expensive, fancy guitars, especially their Les Paul line.

This guitar is a favorite in my house. I would recommend the Classic Vibe for a beginner teen or older child ( age 11 +) who is very serious about learning to play. It is more expensive (around $400) than other beginner electric models that I recommend, but this is an excellent value for the..
The Bullet Strat is a good choice if you are looking for an affordable and practical model that is a perfect first guitar for teens and kids ages 12 and up. It is a full sized guitar by Fender’s budget brand Squier that has the classic Stratocaster styling of a ‘real Fender’ but without the..
The Ibanez GRGM21M GRG Mikro is the mini or 3/4 version of Ibanez’s most famous guitar the RG. It is in the GIO series which is just Ibanez’s budget model line, kind of like Fender’s Squier models or Gibson’s Epiphone brand (GIO appears on the headstock above the standard Ibanez logo). I would associate this..
