I’m looking to get my 5 year old daughter a decently playable electric guitar. Anyone have a suggestion?
C'mon man, every guy wants a sparkly hot pink guitar!Hard Luck Kings has some decent stuff that you won't need to explain to friends if she decides she doesn't want to continue with it at some point and you end up inheriting the guitar....
Agreed! I bought my son one of these mini strat. I set it up and it plays great! Surprised with the quality too!This is easy.
Squier mini strat
Have sweetwater do a setup with good strings and fret dressing on it. My buddy and I conspired to get one for his 8 year old. So it came and I took it to a tech to get it set up and it was actually playable.
And yes it comes in pink, too. They're actually quite good inf they're set up correctly.
Isn't that the same as buying your wife some new power tools?I'll throw an audible here; what about the EBMM Majesty 8 string
Yeah, that's why I suggested it above. Lots of great input here, but it's really difficult to beat Daisy Rock for the "Chick Factor". I mean the whole brand was developed with that in mind.5yo girl? perhaps something that cute to inspire beyond the instrument? https://www.daisyrock.com/ just a thought..
Its really depends on the child state of mind, I use to teach guitar and had several students that were under 10 for a while, some kids can be grown well beyond their years and may be offended, and yet others may be inspired by a DR guitar, op needs to know his child and can make the right call. All children should have a music education imo its something that they will use for the rest of their lives.Yeah, that's why I suggested it above.

He's asking for a 5 y.o. though, being the father of 7 girls, you can rest assured that no 5 y.o. will be offended by Daisy Rock.Its really depends on the child state of mind, I use to teach guitar and had several students that were under 10 for a while, some kids can be grown well beyond their years and may be offended, and yet others may be inspired by a DR guitar, op needs to know his child and can make the right call.

It's been a few years since I researched them, but the answer I found was 'yes'. I actually opted to purchase a scaled down Yamaha classical for my girls as I opted to go a different route in their initial instruction.Are the daisy rock guitars okay as far as playability and holding a tune?
