At one time I owned an Ibanez 12 string that was very very nice and an Ibanez strat type electric I was very fond of. They do make fine guitars, both electric and acoustic. As does Takamine. I would also look at used guitars. Some good values can be found in pawn shops. Like a Fender Strat for like 150. Of course you have to pop for the amp, as well. There's no necessity to get a new guitar, really. Guitars hold their value over the years if they're good quality instruments to start with.

Yamaha is an inexpensive accustic guitar,good sound quality. What I look for in a guitar, electric or accustic is a straight neck, a 1/4 inch is too high for me, it makes it too hard to fret, epiphone is a good guitar, it is made by gibson.

I hope this helps

Highly-reputed frett tables at times feature bonus games and they are actually an excellent occasion for inexperienced frett lovers to gradually improve on their play.
