Well for starters an electric is not more expensive than an acoustic, also an acoustic body is very large for a kid that age. So I do not agree with the answer above. If you can find a kids size electric that would work. If not, the Epiphone Les Paul Jr. is a fairly small guitar and would work just fine. A little Line 6 Spider 15 watt amp would be a choice for an amp also.

I would start out with an acoustic guitar, not an electric. If he likes the guitar, and practices and learns to play well, then he can upgrade to an electric. But why spend 3-4 times as much for one (as an acoustic) if he’s just beginning?
