Let's forget about the typo and help Miranda with the purchase of a guitar.
=========
Miranda, I am not a guitar expert, but I'm going to share what I've learned.

1. The first thing to do is to try the instrument. Find somebody who has one, and ask to play. You never know. Sometimes the first time you play it, you realize you hate the way it feels.

2. It is better to go to a music store and buy one you have tried than to order one online. Take along a friend who plays and can help you choose.

3. New guitars sometimes need adjusting.

4. If you are a small person, do not buy a great big guitar. Avoid a wide neck.

5. Price. It's been a long time since I bought a guitar, but I do not believe you have to spend thousands of dollars to get a good one.
Input on this from other people is welcome.
