Electric guitar?
Grandson wants an electric guitar for his birthday. His only request is that it has a "whammy bar." Is that a part of the guitar or an accessory to be purchased separately and added later?

While technically not 'impossible' to add a whammy bar later at great expense, if you want one, you buy a guitar that comes with one. If your grandson wants a good beginner guitar with a whammy bar, consider a Squier Stratocaster. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/squier-aff...
Also consider that if he doesn't already have one, he'll need a practice amp and a cable. It might make sense to buy a "package" if cost is a factor. Otherwise, there are better practice amps available, like the Fender Mustang. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/squier-aff...
Many/most (but not all) guitars come with one. It's part of the guitar when you buy it.
