Some decent new ones are the Fender DG22S, the Epiphone Hummingbird (a Sheryl Crow look-alike), Takamine G320, or the Washburn D10S. These range in price from $150 or so for the Fender to $300 or so for the Epiphone. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for. I am still playing the first guitar I ever bought (in 1980, its a used 1968 Martin D35 I paid $250 for). Don't be afraid to buy used for a first guitar. Older guitars tend to have more character if they've been taken care of...

If you are new at making changes to your guitar, I recommend taking it to a local music store.  They should have a reference for who works on guitars.\n\nIf you have active pick-ups, old batteries may be the culprit.  You could have bigger issues like a gounding problem or loose spools.  Replacement isn't a bad thing though.

All i know that Yamaha for the first time is a musical factory. Not the machinery or motor factory. And they are known also as one of the best piano maker in the world. So what they produce will be good also. So if you pick one of their product like guitar then it will be awesome too. ok. But if you still want another you can pick like Ibanez, Jackson, Fender etc. But please keep remember this, all you have to do is feel it when you at the guitar store. After you play it seriously then you can decide which one do you want. Ok.\nRemember play and feel it with your feeling.

I think you probably want to stick with a recognized name.\nNot necessarily a Gibson or Fender, but someone who copies their designs for less money like Epiphone.\n\nI'd go to a guitar store, and pick up and play a selection of models.  If you can find an inexpensive one you like, great.  If you like something expensive like a Gibson Les Paul, go to a seller like http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ or similar and see what they have that's similar, but much less expensive.

You are probably up a creek on this one. Your best bet for something a little cheaper than $2000 is to look into Godin guitars. I can't remember ever having seen a guitar like the one youe are describing, but I have seen some that have a more compact body and on- board electronics. Try contacting local music stores for more info. Good luck on this one..... if you can find one I think that would be a fairly interesting guitar!

I agree with the above answer. Go to the music store and play some guitars by Fender, Gibson, and Ibanez that cost more than what you can afford. When you find what you like, write down the model name and number and go to eBay or a pawnshop and get it for the price you can afford to pay. I would keep about $60 in reserve so you can take it to your local instrument repair shop to have it set up (usually about $30) and re-stringed (about another $30 if you get good strings).

You can obviously save up your pennies in a savings account or you can go to a couple of music shaops and simply ask them if they do interest free credit, and if they do, arrange to have a standing order pay them out of your bank account.\nAnother way is to hire the guitar from them and see if you get on with it.\nMost shops have a hire facility and are then happy to knock off the rental from the original price so you have three months to save the difference.\nIt is worth asking for a discount on the top price as the guitar may have been loaned out to many people and should be considered a "Second hand" item.

Go to Guitar Center or your local guitar shop and ask them what they would sell it for. I would choose your local place first, cuz GC might short-change ya.

go to your local music store and pick them all up, even ones out of your price range.  when you find some that feel comfortable, then play them on your amp and find the one that feels good and sounds good.

I got one for £80 at my local music shop. Fantastic sound. Its a black Countryman.\nGet a steel stringed one (6 strings, not 12) and not a classical (nylon string) one\n\nHope this helps. Rock On!

Yamaha actually make decient cheap acoustic guitars, tanglewoods are pretty cheap now, spend an hour in a guitar shop and play a bunch

I personally suggest a Peevey Briarwood acoustic guitar for a beginner. At a guitar store you should be able to buy one for $130. Anymore than that straight off the shelves is a rip off, but that is the best guitar you can have as a beginner. It will treat you right I swear. Good luck! Also, you might be able to find for under $100 on ebay...

That is a Korean made Epiphone Les Paul and really isn't worth a whole lot of money. If you are buying it used I wouldn't pay any more than $250.00 with a case. They really are a pretty decent guitar if you can pick it up cheap.

get to an independant music shop and play til you find one that feels right for you-yamaha pacifica series are good and tanglewoods are affordable-if you cant play at all then buy a fender sqire series-cheap and versatile and not too much of an investment if you aint feelin the rock!with all guitars you will need a pedal to get those sounds-no guitars come with it built in-if you want to do it pc based then get a line 6 gear box-millions of ace sounds and comes complete with a recording studio to show off your efforts to your mates/family etc-about £130 but essential purchase-also- practice practice practice-theres no substitute for it unless you have a hitherto undiscovered god like genius on the geeetar-best of luck and keep on rockin brother
