Okay, here's the deal. I am gonna start giving my nephew basic beginner guitar lessons soon and the little rat needs something to learn on. I have played both acoustic and electric for about 15-16 years and have decided that an electric should be the first thing he learns since it is easier to learn on and will promote continuous playing.
(However I am personally very glad I learned acoustic before electric... more on that someday) So I am looking for a guitar in the $100 US or below price range. This pretty much rules out decent brand name guitars unless they are cosmetically damaged. So far I have these ideas: 1.) Made in Mexico Fender (cosmetic damage) 2.) Custom built no name... (upon personal inspection only) 3.) Cheapo Wal-mart boxed guitars (YUCK!!!!!) I need more ideas and help on this. If you have a well thrashed guitar you'd like to dump for less than $100 let me know as well! In my opinion... Cosmetics don't matter a bit. I'd rather have the guitar play okay and get a half-decent beginner range of sounds than get a pretty sparkly one that is made by blind monkeys. Also, attach links if you have any. Thanks in advance! P.S. Donations welcome!
