well I dont know your location, but in india, good qaulity acouistic guitar comes in nearly 3000-4000 rupees… I would prefer to buy guitar of givson which is brand name in India… Learning a guitar is not just matter of short time… you can learn guitar in few days but if you want to be a master than it requires lot of efforts and long practice friend!!! I hop you got my point…

Answer #2

And you can look all around that website for some cool electrics or some other acoustics. Theres some guitars in there that only cost 50 dollars! But most cost from about 200 to 600. It depends on what your price range is.
