Answer 1

well for 100 dollars u wont get something "great" quality but something with at least decent quality would cost about 200 bucks

Answer 2

I'm not going to waste my time looking at your link... any guitar for $100 or less is JUNK regardless of who built it.  I can't understand why you people think that all guitars are alike simply because the LOOK the same... when there is so much that goes into building one and the more expensive the materials the more expensive the guitar and the better it sounds.

By your $100 logic, then the is no difference between a $5000 Martin or Gibson or Taylor and a $100 First Act from Wal-Mart.

Answer 3

Don't buy one online.

Every guitar is made different because every peace of wood grows different.  You need a guitar with good action that don't have any buzzy strings.  What I mean bye action is how far the strings are from Frets (the things you press down on).  you want them really close if their to far it will be hard to hold down the strings and it will be a waste of money. some are so bad you cant even play the guitar and you cant see that in a picture online.  and if the strings are to close they wont even play or they will be buzzy.
