Looking for guitar for 7 yr old

[debbo]

I am looking for an acustic guitar for my 7 yr old. The reviews I've read on some of the ones in toy stores are pretty bad...that they don't stay in tune. Does anyone have a suggestion of brand/where to get a small guitar that my son can actually learn on?

Thanks!

We bought my son an adult mini acoustic guitar at Guitar Center--I can't remember the brand. We are very happy with it!

ETA: He's 8 and, while it fits him now, they say it can be his "travel guitar" for life.
