Beginner guitar for youth. Full or 3/4?

OK, poll votes are counted, final score, unanimous decision 8-0. Full size wins.

So got the kid one of these today at the local Guitar Center. Ibanez RG120. It's used but very little signs of wear. It's a discontinued low-end model, but I liked it better than the new low-end models that cost much more. We'll see how the kid likes it come Christmas morning.

File under "day late, dollar short"...

As a guitar player, but not a parent, I'd have suggested buying something you absolutely love on the chance that Jr. rebels and takes up Debate Club instead. Then you'd get the bitchin' axe.

Ya know, my eyes did keep wandering up to the next row where they keep the decent stuff.

Uh Oh! You know Guitar collecting, can be as bad as pocket knife collecting.

Cool! Just keep him away from effects pedals or he'll end up like me
