I have two very cheap guitars but having said that, they are cheap but also good quality. I have the Keith Urban Night Star solid body electric that I purchased for 200 and it came with a great low action which is perfect for a beginner. I also own a Yamaha FGX 800c which was about 250 and is an acoustic electric. Both are great guitars and I see playing them for at least the next couple years until I upgrade to an expensive guitar.
