Would this guitar be worth buying as a first guitar?




ninja boy


I've never played a guitar before and with my recent guitar hero addiction i would like to learn. I'm sure it will not be as easy to tear through freebird on a real guitar as it is in the game but i would at least like to give playing a real guitar a try. My musical interests are classic rock and country (lol) i found this guitar on ebay and actually have never been in a guitar store yet but just wanted to know if i should spend the money or if this thing will just be a piece of crap. I will take any recommendations about buying a guitar.
Heres the ebay auction site
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=140152766083
if the link doesn't work just go to ebay.com and search for
Black Electric Guitar 10 W AMP, Bag Straps Tuner String
and it should come up.
Thanks

Careful - it says KIT. If it means Kit guitar, you have to assemble and do the electronics.

Avoid this stuff like the plague - if you want cheap, take someone who plays to your local pawn shop AND retailer. Find something cheap that stays in tune and keeps an octave, and don't forget to haggle.

Then, get a Monster cable - unlimited lifetime free exchange when it breaks, and see if you can afford a used Line 6 spider 15 watt amp - it has built in effects. Have your friend help you out with accessories - they're cheap.

I only recommend Squiers (above) if they play well and are set up right. Otherwise, the Yamaha Pacifica is good, the OLP MM1 (great neck+pickups), Schecter or Ibanez also make a good guitar for 200 bucks or so. The Pacifica you can find for 170 or so.

My daughter just gave up trying to learn guitar after 2 lessons to stick with guitar hero - so you might even consider starting acoustic. For 200 bucks, the Takamine G230 or for $180 a Yamaha F335 (make them give you picks and strings for free) is all you need.

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES AT ALL should you bid on that. Some poor tree gave it's life for nada.

where can I get a decent, cheap acoustic kit on the net?

Q. As in a put together kit, it would have to be left handed or left handed stringable. Also, do you know of a good book telling in detail how to build and wire an electric guitar?
Cheers
