[QUOTE="Mayo5, post: 8610742, member: 32971"] I'm going to go ahead and be the opposition. Do not buy those pre-packaged stuff. They sound horrible, and if you do not like the guitar after trying it out for a while, then their resell is even worse than the product. I would try to borrow a guitar if I was you, and sit down and learn the basics and see how you feel about that. If you are enjoying it and legitmately want to get better, then buy a decent low-midrange guitar. For acoustics you can find some awesome deals for 300-800 dollar range. My favorite guitar and one of the best acoustics I've ever played is my 1969 Yamaha. I picked it up inside that range, and it blows away guitars that cost three times as much as this.(Alot of people makes these kind of statements, but it honestly does for fingerpicking.) Now Electrics can be a whole different ball game. I found out the hard way, but buy a good amp and lessor guitar if you do not have the money. You can buy a 5,000$ guitar and play it through a 500$ solid state amp, and it will still sound like crap and it will sound like a 500$ guitar. I'd suggest looking into a cheap solid state amp for the first time user, or maybe a micro tube amp. You can find these for 200-800 in that broad range, depending on components and the company/person that makes it. Make sure to play any guitar before you buy it. Every guitar is different and they will all "fit" you differently. You play better and longer when you are using a guitar that feels comfortable to you. Good luck, it's alot of fun and an amazing stress relief. And as someone else already mentioned, welcome to the world of GAS. [/QUOTE]
