For a beginner guitar, an Epi acoustic would be okay I'd think. For $169.99, the AG 200 isn't that bad a deal.

What about an Epi Hummingbird? Sure we open up a whole new price range. But that's the fun part.

MF's summaries are a bit innaccurate and you have to check the individual specs. All but the Fender have a solid spruce top (also, Lee is not the only guitarist I know who tells me Fender acoustics are variable).

I include the Dean because, although I don't know it and their electrics range from good to so-so, this acoustic has (apart from the solid top) Grover tuners (nice hardware; you have to get a Washburn D30S to get Grovers) and a piezo bridge. I don't know if you'd want to plug into an amp at some point but, if so, this may be a plus.

i decided to stop by a local guitar store some time next week with my friend(who have been playing guitar for many years) and check out the actual guitar before i buy it. If the price of guitar is relatively cheap in there i might buy it from there. Just letting u guys know.

Peace

A sound choice of guitar and an even better way of getting it. Going into a real shop with an experienced player to give you his op is a lot better than click-and-hope. Glad to know you'll keep us posted on what you get Smile

I found this website where it gives guitar lessons. I am just wondering if any of you guys have tried this site or not.

It's called music master pro

I will try and put a list of online guitar instruction websites together. It will be helpful.

In the meantime, check out one of GSite's sponsors, http://www.jamplay.com/

$19.95P/M

I'm not familar with Music Master Pro, but it does look okay.

I personally think a larger selection of pure guitar lessons is the better choice though.

WorkShopLive is also another choice.
