I'm thinking about gettting the Ibanez TCY10 Talman Acoustic-Electric Guitar (let me know what you think for a first guitar), and I wanted to know if it's safe to order a guitar online and have it shipped to me. With the climate being so hot, I'm thinking that it would be bad for the guitar to be in such hot weather while it travels from each conveyer belt and stucked in the back of a 150 degree FedEX truck. Thanks.

For a first guitar, it'll work fine. I personally do not like acoustic guitars styled like electrics, but it is a personal thing... I prefer an acoustic to be an acoustic, and an electric to be an electric. Are you planning to play it amplified? If not, you might be better off buying a straight acoustic for the same money - you'll get a better instrument at least in theory.

I've bought guitars online without problems, although it is better to play the guitar, or at least have a try! :D Have you ever played one? I'd advise you to if you can.

On the actual shipping, chances are that the guitar will have already been transported around in the back of a truck in the heat somewhere along the line, so it is unlikely to make a difference.
