FWIW, our 4 year old is crazy for my guitars & basses also. I bought her a little pink Harmony 6 string that she loves to rock out with.

here's me and my oldest when he was @ 4 
He made me buy a guitar when he was 3 - knocked one over in a music store. Its a crazy looking B. C. Rich weapon - his punishment is he has to take guitar lessons when he's ready

Turns out they (mandobirds) use guitar strings of a light gauge, so I got replacements and got the frets all cleaned up and whatnot. D string was wrapped a little funny around the bead, so the wire keeps it from going all the way through to the bridge like the others, so it detunes pretty easily, but while it remains in tune, it's awesome.
Been learning REM songs. Mastered Losing My Religion yesterday in between letting my son tool around with it. He Actually started experimenting with frets and how they work and got a simple couple chords down. I am very excited about it.

I need to take a father-son pic with mandobird and thunderbird. | He was playing, after a fashion. He was strumming and fretting different ways. Not a real tune, but he was testing it out pretty good. Quote: |

And now I'm like  "Oh, he's going to grow up and be the best type of guitarist. One with a profound sense of rhythm."
So it's a Mandobird? Is that seriously what it's called?
