    Default G'day from Sydney, Australia....

    Hi Everyone,

    My name is Mike and I am another newbie Australian member! Stumbled across this site and from what I've seen and read so far I am pretty impressed! Everyone is very welcoming which is great to see. I love playing the guitar and have been playing for quite a while, but must say that I still have room for improvement, so looking forward to picking up some good tips from the forum.

    My 7 year old son has just started to play, he's a lefty and looks like he's gonna be a natural. I am looking for a good starter guitar and amp for my son so any recommendations? He's a lefty but seems happy playing right handed...

    Welcome to The Fret, Mike. I think we have plenty of room for more Aussies!
    (note to Robert: we could use an Aussie smiley)

    As far as starter guitar and amp, you might need to make sure he'll be playing a right or left handed way first.
    A Squier Affinity Strat comes in a left handed model. http://www.fender.com/products/searc...tno=0310620532
    For a great sounding yet affordable amp, the Fender Mustang 1 is a worthy candidate.
    Guitar: Gibson SG Standard Natural Burst, Squier CV 50's Tele, Hell Guitars No. 2, Squier CV 50's Strat, Reverend Club King 290, Taylor 522e 12-Fret mahogany,
    Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass Short Scale
    Amp: Fender Super Champ X2 Head, Egnater Tweaker 15, Fender Mustang I, Acoustic B20 1x12 bass amp
    Pedal: Budda Budwah wah, Wampler Ego Compressor, Electro-Harmonix Soul Food, Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive, Wampler Velvet Fuzz, Seven Sisters Eve Tremolo, TC Electronics Gravy Tri Chorus & Vibrato, Catalinbread Echorec, TC Electronic Alter Ego 2 Delay, Hardwire Supernatural Ambient Verb, MXR Carbon Copy, Catalinbread RAH, Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker, BYOC Mouse 2.0 Distortion, BYOC Boost/OD-2
