Best First Guitar

My nephew turns twelve next anniversary and I've absitively to buy him his aboriginal electric guitar. It seems applicable because his dad--my brother--bought me my aboriginal axe.
I bethink that guitar actual well: it was a no-name archetype of the Gibson SG that Angus Young had fabricated famous. Apparently, it bulk my brother fifty bucks and the abrupt old jailbait that he bought it off threw in a baloney pedal and a 15 watt Gorilla amp for free. Sweet times!
Now, eighteen years on and an innumerable bulk of guitars later, that no-name still ranks as one of my best favourites.
Sure, the activity was way too high, the headstock bashed whenever I hit an accessible cord too harder and it was absurd to accumulate in tune for any abundant breadth of time but it had style.
So I started thinking: what is the 'Best Aboriginal Guitar' a kid can have?
In my accommodation as a music abecedary I've apparent poor kids that can absolutely atom on their busted-up buzz apparatus and I've apparent affluent kids that can't adept 'Smoke On The Water' afterwards hours of disturbing on their eight thousand dollar Fender Strats.
Some parents absolutely do like throwing money away.
The accuracy of it is if you're spending added than a thousand dollars on a aboriginal guitar again you're spending too much. You should be able to aces up a air-conditioned buzz one just by browsing eBay or your bounded buzz music shop.
PS - You wish to apperceive what blazon of guitar I bought my nephew, Sammy? A buzz Gibson SG Special. Same one that Angus Young fabricated famous. I achievement he feels as badass as I did if he straps it on for the aboriginal time and assault up his mum and dad's stereo.
