A year or so ago a friend asked me to help choose an inexpensive guitar for her daughter. They live in a small town with no music stores so I went around to the stores here just to update myself on what was available. Most are as you would expect but one brand caught my ear and was so nice to play that I sat there in the store's demo room playing it for about forty minutes. If I were going to buy an innexpensive guitar for myself, it would be one of those.

Check out Garrison Guitars. The model my friend bought for her daughter was just under $200. If I'd known about the composite frame I probably wouldn't have picked it up but I didn't know and was delighted with the models I played. These are often discounted so don't pay too much attention to the suggested retail prices.

The Garrison Guitar Company is on to something in my opinion.
