I've been waiting for the perfect opportunity to get my son his first guitar and these 3-string Loogs are the ideal introduction

My son Taylor just turned 3. He loves listening to AC/DC and gets incredibly excited whenever I play my guitars at home. I've been wanting to capitalize on this magic for a while now, and have long been considering one of Loog's pint-sized kid's guitars. Now, thanks to this year's Prime Day guitar deals, there are some sizeable savings - up to $54 - up for grabs on a range of their acoustic and electric models.

While Christmas isn't here just yet, it's certainly just around the bend and I love the idea of beating the rush and securing my son's main present early, especially one that I know will put the biggest smile on his face.

For complete beginners like Taylor, Loog’s short-scale, 3-string guitars are an ideal gateway. But make no mistake, these are real, playable guitars. I love the Loog x Fender collab from a couple years back, that delivers Tele and Strat shapes in a child-friendly package. They've got a single pickup and volume control, too.

The strings – fretted with the help of the slim neck – are regular electric guitar strings and are geared up for standard tuning in an effort to prepare players for stepping up to larger instrument in the future.

The Fender x Loog models make great first guitars. They're playable, sound great and they look the absolute business, with both seafoam green Telecaster and black Stratocaster models available. There’s no built in amp though, so you’ll need to factor that in.

The Fender models cost more, so you could consider one of Loog’s standard electrics. It’s the same setup - 3-strings, slim neck, pickup - but with a built-in, battery-powered speaker so they can get playing straight from the box. There’s a huge range of colors available, so you’ll have no problem finding one to suit their style.

If the idea of an electric guitar is already giving you a headache an acoustic would make a more mellow, budget-friendly option. The nylon strings produce a pleasing warm tone, while the slimline neck is easy on the hands.
