Renting is a good idea to make sure they will stick with it. However, it should be a quality instrument as nothing derails a kid's interest like the frustration of dealing with a piece of crap instrument.
Such is my dilemma. I'm easily sucked into this argument and it resulted in me buying her a $300 Alvarez guitar which she will hardly pick up. I think I'll err on the side of cheap this time.
