Hmmm.... that’s a valid point about the trem. Hadn’t even considered that. Maybe Mike is willing to help him with re-strings and tuning?

Oh yeah, I would help him with re-strings and tuning of course.

Thanks for lighting this kids candle.

Just block the trem or install a trem stop.

Yeah, I could do that. I will tune and change strings for him.

If he's 'on the spectrum' that probably means he's in the Autistic Spectrum...sounds like he's high functioning so he could be a 'savant' in that he'll develop a skill that will far and away be off the charts compared to others...so, if guitar is something he already enjoys you could be looking at a super talent in the making..if he's encouraged to pursue it.
Love to hear how this works out....keep us informed!

Indeed. My wife is a teacher and one of her former students is Autistic. He he currently a student at the University Of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music and hes doing incredibly well!

Ibanez GIO. You can get these in the short scale that is perfect for younger kids. Two humbuckers fixed bridge for under $100 on ebay or Music Go Round. Great little guitars. I got one for my daughter years ago.

I would say maybe an LTD single cut with a hardtail bridge. Anything with a hardtail really.

I second the fat Strat.

You never know...this kid could be the next Eddie Van Halen. And we NEED one.

Thank you Mike! I appreciate that you started this thread. Hope he enjoys the guitar and sticks with it. Good seeing you and talking for a bit.

Mike,if he still needs an amp I have a little boss katana. Maybe a 8”speaker. Lots of cool fx and actually sounds freaking killer. I know for me it was important to have something that sounded good to inspire me when I was young.
you got my number. Hit me up if he needs it and I’ll ship it out to you.

Appreciate that bro! Someone else sent out a katana a few days ago. But the offer is super cool man! And yes, having something that sounded good was super important. Gyre un and I spoke when we met up yesterday. We were talking about our first amps. Mine was a backstage plus and it was atrocious. It sounded so bad!!!

a katana would have been a dream amp for me!! Haha.
