Hi everyone im going to buy a guitar for my wee nephew he will be 3 in janurary.
Any advice on what i should get him acoustic, electric and if its acoustic should i get him the non metal string one? i dont wana spend much to be honest for a start i havent got it haha and hes a crazy wee man so the guitar might end up being used for beating anything from his granny to the front door.
Thanks in advance for any advice its much appreciated.

Three is way too young so a cheap disney mickey mouse guitar would work.

maybe a guitar isn't a good idea. he could accidentally break a string and injure himself.

Maybe one of those electronic style kids toys may be the go .
Seems like I've been having one of those days
Since sometime back in 1998
And a turnaround is surely on the way
Or maybe that's me spinning down the drain

I don't necessarily agree that 3 is too young, this guy set out a programme for child prodogies.
The guitar and the 3 year-old child
This young man is cool remember he's only 3

Your Nephew would need a 1/4 or 1/2 size guitar budmonster but I can understand why you want a cheaper one because it could get a fair bit of abuse, have a look at these,.
The Kids Window - Stardust Music - Children's Electric Guitar
The Kids Window - Stardust Music - Toy Guitar Set
Guitar - One Quarter Size - Music Corner Ltd
NEW KIDS CHILD ELECTRIC GUITAR AMP PINK RED BLUE on eBay, also Other Electric Guitars, Electric, Guitars, Musical Instruments (end time 20-Dec-07 11:46:25 GMT)
Another option is guitar hero, if he's got a ps2 this is great fun, I put the basic one on as it's the cheapest but there is also guitar hero II and guitar hero III for xbox360.
HMV.com: games: Guitar Hero 2: Bundle Pack (2006)
Good luck with whatever you choose budmonster and have a good Christmas. 
Cheers
Chris

I was thinking about getting my son a guitar too, but was worried about him being too young for a guitar...
Thanks for the link to the suzuki method. I wont be able to send him for tuition, not very many teachers for 3 year olds over here, but I will be able to use the info on the site to teach my son how to play... without alienating him form music altogether... Maybe I will learn a couple of things while I am at it...
