The one bit of advise I might add is to pay attention to the sizes of both the body and neck of the guitar you intend to buy. Here in the States most of the guitars offered for sale are D { dreadnaught } sized instruments that might be too large and uncomfortable for you as a beginner to play. Be sure to check out the 00, 000 and OM sized guitars also - the smaller body styles might be easier for you to hold. All necks are not the same either. Check the neck width closly. All of these are good reasons to ask the best guitar player you know to go shopping with you. You don't have to spend a lot to get a decent guitar. But if it's the wrong guitar any amount you spend will be too much.
