Tough Choices!
Fear not, it is not as tough as some would have you believe. There are some very good, reputable instruments available at a very affordable price.

The bottom line, is to pick what is right for you, that makes you want to play. If you want to start on electric, fine. At the end of the day, all these guitars have six strings, and you play them basically the same way, so there is no reason why, if you like electric guitar, it wouldn't benefit you to test the waters on a budget classic.

Sometimes it is good for the youngster to 'work their way up' to an electric. Some great players have unwittingly learned on terrible instruments, and when they have got a good one really go off!

That is not to say you should deliberately get a dodgy old guitar though, as these people were the exception, and maybe because of circumstance couldn't afford a good axe!

Good luck in your search. Just remember us when you are rich and famous!
