Good and cheap do not go together, especially where any of the stringed instruments are concerned. A semi decent guitar will start at one hundred dollars, and go up from there. A decent one will start at about one hundred fifty dollars, and a nice guitar will start somewhere around three hundred fifty dollars. A good quality starts around five hundred dollars.
Anything below one hundred dollars is going to need an equal amount of money or work done to it to make it anywhere from semi reliable to reliable. Anything under sixty that's new a guitar luthier is going to be less likely to want to work on. Anything that's below fourty dollars, and they're not going to want to bother trying to work on it, as it will cost far more than it's worth to make even somewhat reliable. I've seen fretboards coming loose from the neck on those below sixty dollars in the discount stores, that are new. That said, any guitar, or even a piece of junk guitar (which causes a lot of frustration especially keeping it in tune), will be good to play chords on.
Here are a few brands to look though that have semi decent guitars in the one hundred to one hundred fifty dollar range.
Dean
Fender
Gibson
Ibanez
Martin
Washburn
Yamaha
Edit point:
Also stay away from the discount retailers, as well as what you can find online. When you buy online you could end up with a GSO or guitar shaped instrument. Go to a shop and try different ones instead and buy from there. That way not only can you find what you want, but also the one that feels the best to you.

Is there any cheap guitars?
Britney
I want to buy a guitar but I want one that won't be so expensive does anyone know a place where I can get a cheap guitar ?
Answer
Cheap guitars can be found pretty much everywhere. Even supermarkets and department stores have super cheap guitars for about £40. Toys R Us, any and every guitar store... It also depends on the kind of guitar you're after. Acoustic? Electric? Semi-Acoustic? Classical? Start by taking a trip to your local guitar store and ask some questions there.
