How good is Kona electric guitar?

Is the Kona Deluxe Acoustic Guitar a good guitar? 10pts?

• I want to start playing the guitar but I'm looking for a fairly nice guitar for a beginner. Would the Kona Deluxe Acoustic Guitar be a good one for $80 with the beginner pack? Thanks! 10pts

• Answer:

  If you go to the Walmart site http://www.walmart.com/ip/Acoustic-Guitar-for-Dummies-Bundle-Kona-Acoustic-Guitar-Accessories-Instructional-Book-CD/10975367 and look at the top (under 'See All Departments'), you will see this: Toys : Guitars. In other words, it's a toy, something which the price reflects totally. You can't seriously expect to have even a used guitar on its own for $80 and expect it to be something worth considering. Please stay away from giant stores selling toys and go to a dedicated guitar shop. You don't always have to buy, there, just make sure you get help in picking a real guitar - and 80 bucks will not cut it at all I'm afraid. Starter/starter packs? Not worth it in my experience. It tends to be a crappy guitar with a bunch of other useless and low quality stuff thrown in to make it look like a good deal. I know that some will tell you to buys real expensive guitars. Just don't, when you're starting out. You will simply need an instrument which will hold up and which can be adjusted so that it plays well and sounds OK. You will probably be able to find something from 2-300 bucks.
