My son (also 11) is maybe slightly tall for his age but not freakishly big or anything. He plays a regular sized Squier Strat. It's a little bit of a reach for him but he manages. I would recommend taking your son to a shop and let him hold a Les Paul Junior. They're full-sized guitars which tune like normal but they have a slightly shorter neck. They can be a bit heavy, so you might want to invest in a wide strap if you go that route. My daughter's Washburn L112 is also a very manageable full-sized axe which is also extremely lightweight. Works just fine on RS, too. Both of my kids play multiplayer RS with me and with each other using their own guitars and they seem to work just fine.Sailor Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600020669551641488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591947515218661072.post-47062128129918346172012-05-02T10:22:12.546-07:002012-05-02T10:22:12.546-07:00I'm very interested in your findings. This is ...I'm very interested in your findings. This is exactly what I was looking for. My son wants a guitar for his 11th birthday so he can play Rocksmith with me. He has a child's guitar, but it's impossible to tune properly with rs.
