I got mine at Guitar Center in Salt Lake. It was a unavertised sale. They are the same Co. and honor all on line sales. Good people to work withGet them to throw in a gig bag. If you hit them just right I Got a hard case for $30. and the padded gig bag.

Quick update- we got a short scale Ibenez(sp?) for around $140US, and she's loving it! It's still a little big for her, but the biggest problem she really has is being aware of the ends when she turns around- she's knocked into tables and walls several times. (Open space is at a premium in my house)

She' having a great time, and wants to learn to play Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads first!

Tell her no way! Everyone starts with Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star! ;-)

The bumping around thing is normal for kids, which is why you're told not to buy really expensive instruments for them unless they turn out to be real prodigies.

Have fun.

You can't hurt a solid-body electric with stickers, paint, or anything else applied to the body. Just don't mess with the fretboard, the pickups, or allow any liquid to get into the electronics.
