Yo GUEST,

Sorry, I got the impression that she wanted to spend $200, which I think of as US. That's like $300 UK, ain'tr it? Heck, I don't know...

But fir someone who wants to learn to play guitar---period--- I wouldn't suggest an electric guitar unless all they want to do is amke a bunch of noise and have the neighbors comnplain.

Learn to play and acoustic guitar and then, if in the samll cahnce that he likes playing guitar, buy an electric...

But, if he can't play then starting out on an electric is like teaching yer kid to drive using an Indi car, thank you...

Jus' MO, of course...

Peace

Bobert
