I fully agree with the posts and will say this to a beginner. I have the Keith Urban Night Star Solid Body Electric which cost me 200, and its an excellent guitar with a very low action and yet no fret buzz. Came from the factory like that. For acoustic if you can bump your budget to be tween 250 and 300, you cannot go wrong with the Yamaha FGX 800C. Its my acoustic guitar and I dont plan on moving up in quality to a Martin until I am a decent player, but having said that, as a beginner that Yamaha will give you good service for probably 5 years or more..and thats enough time to learn on a good guitar. I will caution you buy quality even for a first guitar and I say 300 is a good budget.
