My 13yo son is the guitarist in our family. He is doing well for his age. He has a second hand Stratocaster and a Yamaha acoustic. He has a little Roland amp and is saving up for a better amp. He doesn't know it yet but I recently purchased a kit to make a 2 watt valve amp. I will surprise him with it. If the 2 watt works well then we may try a more powerful one later.
Any one else tried the Lamington kits?
