: I am looking for a good solid guitar for a beginner, but don't want to break the bank. Any suggestions?

Almost everybody I know had a Squier Strat as a first guitar, and every single one of them complained about how much it sucked. The strings always went out of tune, the pickups were brittle-sounding and noisy, and the action was horrible. I would suggest going with Epiphone, the entry to mid-level division of Gibson. Their prices range from under $200 to over a $1000, so they're bound to have something to fit your style and budget. I think the les paul special starts around $150 or so. Anyway, look at local and online music stores for guitars and try them out before you consider buying them. What's important is what sounds, feels, and looks good to YOU. You're the one plunking down the cash, after all. Well, that's my recommendation, hope it helps a little. Good luck.
