Tell me about a guitar i can buy that's reasonably priced, good quality and the right size?

Don't get a Fender for 100-300 $ range. They can't give a good distorted sound. Fenders above $1000 range are best. You can get an Ibanez. Any RG series of Ibanez are cheap, of good quality and solid. This list can help: banez GRGA32 Gio Series Electric Guitar $149.99 Ibanez GRX20Z Electric Guitar $149.99 Ibanez GAX30 Electric Guitar $149.99 Ibanez GRX20 Electric Guitar $149.99 Ibanez GSA60 Electric Guitar $149.99 Ibanez GART50FA Electric Guitar $199.99 Ibanez GRG150MS Electric Guitar $199.99 Ibanez GDTM21 Mikro Electric Guitar $199.99 Ibanez GRX70QA Electric Guitar $199.99 Ibanez RG120 Electric Guitar $200.00 Ibanez GART50QA Electric Guitar $200.00 Or you can get Epiphones. Epiphone is a 'sub-company' of the Gibson guitar company which are one of the most expensive in the world as they are American made. But Epiphone are the same models made outside America(not china! Be assured!) They are of super-great quality. Some of them are quite expensive but relatively cheap compared to Gibsons. Some say they are Gibson copies. But I don't find it the right term. 'Cause copies say cheap, of bad quality. They're just a cheaper version of Gibsons. Check them out here: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/electric-guitars/epiphone One thing, you didn't you need acoustic or electric. All models listed above are electric. But both Ibanez and Epiphone also sell one of the best quality acoustic guitars in the world. So does Gibson. Acoustics are cheaper than electric. Check out also Fender and Yamaha acoustics. They are just great and of superb quality! Good luck!

The problem is that so much is down to personal taste and requirements: no manufacturer, for example, wilfully make guitars out of the "wrong wood" with the "wrong shaped necks" etc. They don't decide to produce a guitar that's the "wrong" size. You need to decide first whether you want nylon or steel strings. If you decide on steel strings, you need to try out some different body styles - many people automatically look at jumbo guitars but some find them too big and aren't keen on the tone. Obviously, the more you pay, the better the instrument (usually). I think that Taylor and Martin guitars are "reasonably priced", but they are expensive (a good Martin will be well over £1000 even used). Whatever type of guitar you decide upon, I would suggest you don't spend a huge amount of money: however "good" your guitar is, when you can really play, you might wish it had a thicker/thinner neck, had a different tone etc. etc. Some guitars excell when strummed, some when played finger style. Also, if you give up for whatever reason, you haven't wasted a lot of money. DO NOT buy a brand that no one has heard of from the Internet. Go to a music store and try some out. Yamaha have a good reputation, Epiphone and Fender acoustics are not really rated very highly but one of their models should be fine to learn on. Look also at Taylor, Washburn, Takamine, Jasmine etc.

Get a black Fender Cut-a-Way Acoustic Guitar, fully plug-in-able, and with a built-in equalizer. Should run you about $300.00 (American dollars) tops.

The best value I've found for a steel string acoustic under $400 is the Blueridge BR-40 (dreadnaught style) or BR-43 (smaller body OM style). They have solid wood tops with bone (not plastic) nut and saddle; this makes for superior tone.

Look into some Epiphone guitars- they are reasonably priced and come in a variety of styles ( everyone is different try some out - they have les paul styles, strats, teles, SGs etc ) Not personally knowing you I'd recommend an Epiphone Stratocaster- you can pick a new one up for under $300- and they stay in tune great. The stratocatsers are very popular design, Clapton plays them and most rock guitarists I know have at least one. My favorite guitar ( but it will run you $1500- 2500 ) is my Gibson Les Paul- when i was a kid I had a poster of Jimmy Page playing one- and to me that is THE guitar, feels great in my hands- but all guitar players have their favorites.

you also might look into PRS or Paul Reed Smith guitars. They have a range of prices and styles that feel great in your hands and not too heavy like Gibson can be. but I agree with the last answer, that you should take lessons and after you start to form your style you will know what type of guitar to buy. To start get a ibanez starter kit, they are cheap and hold their value when you trade it in for what you really want. So don't jump the gun and expect to get the perfect guitar before you really know what style you are going for. This will also give you time to make sure you get the color, size and weight you really need and desire. Personaly I do not recomend fender so ibanez or epiphone starter kits are best. jam on bro!!

If what you want is a steel-string acoustic suitable for beginners, go to a music store and try out guitars in the $150 - $300 range. Yamaha, Epiphone, and Takamine (Jasmine) are reputable makers of this type of instrument. They will be Asian imports with either all-laminated or solid-top construction, but should be playable and last you a while. The Yamaha FG-700S is a particularly good deal, with a solid wood top and a ca. $200 price tag.
