If you want the child to appreciate the music of the guitar and not the thoughts of being a rock star at ten and if you want your hearing for much longer, I would recommend the regular guitar.

Does he have a favorite genre of music? If so, you should look into guitars that would be suitable for that style of music. You have a pretty significant budget there, so you have lots of choices. I'm fond of Schecter, LTD, and Ibanez for hard rock and metal. Fender Stratocasters are good for blues, country and rock. The "Fat Strat", with a humbucking pickup in the bridge position, is a good all around guitar that will be suitable for many styles. Gibsons are good all around guitars, the Les Paul and SG seem to be popular, though I prefer the Flying V and Explorer. G&L make good guitars from what I've heard, but I don't know enough about them to offer any advice. Also remember that you need to budget for an amplifier as well. A good part of how a guitar will sound depends on how good an amp you are playing it through, so make sure you don't skimp on the amp or the nicest guitar in the world will not sound as good as it could. I would honestly let him pick out his own guitar. Tell him to choose the one that feels the best when he plays it, instead of opting for the one that looks the coolest. It doesn't matter how cool it looks if it doesn't feel right when you play it.

Classical guitar. They're cheaper and you can get an electric guitar later. Plus, you won't have to deal with people yelling at you to turn down the volumer on a classical guitar.
Good luck!

I would start with a regular guitar, as at first he's going to sound like hell until he 's taken lessons for a year,and you don't want it amplified.lol Wait until he knows how to play chords learn some tunes and so forth ,and if he decides he wants to play electric , then get him one, but let him decide as he might like playing the acoustic guitar.

Get them to leanr basics on guitar first. When he moves up to high school, then start doing electric. It is then so so easy to elarn electric as you have all of the basics.

Electric may be easier to hold, but it's probably better to start acoustic, so he learns actually playing and not just how to make cool sounds.
