I have been doing a bit of shopping myself, especially electrics. I have done a number of searches on Google such as "best starter guitar" electric or acoustic, best amp under $???? and have gotten mountains of ideas. It seems like Marshall Acoustics is the number one choice for beginners, and the electrics are a crap shoot....too many to choose in lower price range. My point is that if you haven't discovered Harmony Central User Reviews, you are missing the best site I've come accross for narrowing down your choices. No matter which one you like, many will like it, many will not. That's why you rarely ever see a seasoned guitar player with just one guitar!
