I can't agree more with what adam said above. Rep points awarded :D .

If you pursue the instrument, having less than great stuff will always give you the desire to want more. Instead of just having the best guitar, you research and find better ones that you someday could have. You keep playing towards that, and when you do get it...the joy from getting it and the shift from a crappy instrument to a good one improves you playing and attitude towards playing.

I also like what he said about working on your own guitar. I mean, if you get an american strat, daddy won't want you playing with the screws and wires...cheap guitar, no such a big deal.

It's great you want to buy the kid a good instrument though...I agree with getting the squire. Most shops carry a line of cheap no name guitars that are cheap, but still relatively well made.

Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.
