Near zero. The kind of rigid discipline, rules and practice it takes to develop by that age and be able to play perfectly will completely stunt your ability to create music further down the road.
Paco De Lucia is one I can think of, but I wouldn't say he was a child prodigy persay he's just lucky his father was a guitar teacher. And at that age he was playing circles around this kid.
Guess it doesn't count for much this day in age anyway because all the ignoramuses can't have a youtube stroke-a-thon to it.
