Help! I'm Buying A Guitar!?

Question

I've never done anything with guitars and know nothing about it. I want to buy a guitar but dont know what to get. I want either an acoustic or electric and it needs to be about $100. Please help!!! What to get and where to buy!

Answer 1

Go to ebay and look at some fenders that is  good electric guitars for you because your just starting

Answer 2

since youre on a limited budget, definitely go with an acoustic guitar (no cables, amps etc to buy).  Also, it's my humble opinion that it makes a better guitarist out of you to start on acoustic rather than electric, though I'm sure many would disagree.  Anyhow, you should be able to find a good deal on musiciansfriend.com or at a local guitar center for one of those "starter packs."  They're usually by yamaha or something and they include a bunch of stuff that'll help get you started

One more piece of advice--save up your money and go to a few lessons.  it's easy to get discouraged when starting out and a guitar teacher can kind of show you how youre supposed to be sounding

I recommend Jasmine by Takamine

Answer 4

If you can only spend $100 Go to flea markets, goodwill etc.  You are definitely not going to find anything decent new for that price.

I did see an electric without amp for $75 at Goodwill.

I have seen acoustics from $25 at a garage sale to $150 at the store.

Answer 5

If you're just starting out I'd get an acoustic.  But check out these sites for whichever you decide on.

musiciansfriend.com  or music123.com

those are the sites I buy all my stuff from.  They have lots of user reviews for the guitars and have plenty of stuff in your price range.
