Ok.. a few years a go I set my self a New Years Resolution to learn to play guitar, never got round to it..... BUT it's been playing on my mind

so what is a good starter guitar, something not naff to be sneered at, but something suitable and something affordable if it does not become a "love affair"... acoustic smile

Agreed, but get the tobacco sunburst!

Just like red cars go faster, sunburst guitars sound better...

If you've not made that beer fuelled decision yet, of course the best response is for you to get down to your local music shop and check a few different guitars out. See which one feels the most comfortable etc.

I did that many years ago and came out with, lo and behold, a Yamaha F310, which still does me fine. I perhaps had the advantage of being able to play a bit having borrowed guitars previously but a decent music shop should welcome a new customer.
