just an additional suggestion/opinion I would consider the GAD/Westerlycollection/M-120, small body and short (but full) scale. This is a professional model (yes even the Asian one), but would still work for a first grader, I would guess. An easy re-sell later, popular and standard model. there is a nice looking Cherry one on Reverb now for 559 or best offer. has a gig bag or hard foam case. not sure of electronics or not. looks to have the MIRC refurb sticker over the serial number. In my experience that basicaly means the guitar was unsold inventoty, went to a 3rd party where it is was set up recently and has no warranty,but should be essentially brand new. possibly a customer return. the cherry red Guild acoustics seem to be getting more popular. this is just an import in poly but still is pretty. no affiliation, etc. make a hot black friday offer!! bwahaha
