The post from Stringybark 05.01.13.
A good point raised, in that as a beginner the last thing you want is for some
sales person to sell you a guitar that is not fit for purpose, or the standard of the player.
It had been a great many years since I had last picked up a guitar, when I went into a music shop and asked about a guitar for a beginner.(thought I really needed to start from scratch). Was shown a Fender CD60, liked the sound/tone, bought it with a gig bag, (got the tuner for free) and it's the one I play most. The Epiphone DR500 takes a back seat. (have played this three times in the past year).
Love the Fender, am already on the third set of strings.
