    I know this is nothing really to do with what you are asking, so sorry, but why does he have to have a blue one? Would the pink one warp him in some way? Nothing to do with you, but I get so frustrated that there are toys specifically marketed to boys, ie blue and girls must therefore have a pink one. It's a guitar! Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things?

    My own personal bug bear, sorry. Who decided that boys can't wear or have pink things?

    Anyway.. as you were. Hope you find a suitable guitar.

    PINK IS THE COLOR FOR BOYS
    A century ago, baby boys were swaddled in pink—a watered-down version of red—and girls were in blue, evocative of the Virgin Mary. Ladies’ Home Journal said, “The generally accepted rule is pink for the boy and blue for the girl. The reason is that pink being a more decided and stronger color is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.”

    interesting lol
