    hi im starting the guitar this year and not sure what to get.. Was in a few music shops and one was selling me a weldon, and another was selling a cort or a fender (beginner one).
    Whats your opinion on these brands and what would you recommend? I play a stringed instrument already and plan on being a music teacher in schools so will hope to have this guitar for a while! but still on a budget...250euro max! Any advice would help!

    I suggest looking for a good second hand acoustic. Make sure it's in good condition.
    Check out adverts.ie & also chrisguitars.com

    Got one of these for a beginner a while back.

    Plays nice enough and it's well within your price range.

    Second hand is definitely the way I'd go. You would get a fairly decent guitar for that money. Bring a friend or someone you know with you that could maybe play the guitar so they could make sure you're getting a good deal.

    Best of luck with whatever you get.

    Thanks for all the advice! but the only problem about second hand guitars are that i havent a clue about the instrument! and none of my friends play it! Plus, i dont intend on getting an upgade in years to come..... Do guitar shops give garauntees?
