    Got one that is completely unused - got it as a present last christmas and used it for about.... 15 minutes :)

    Other than that its completely new and untouched... How cheap is cheap ?

    there is a fender beginners pack in the argos catalogue that shouldn't dent the wallet too much, think it's €119, don't know what the quality is like but it's probably similar to the korean made fender dreadnaughts. This is the pack

    Best budget accoustic has to be the yamaha F310, great guitar for a great price. Dont know how much exactly it is but you can be sure that you'll get around abouts the same quality from a guitar thats twice the price

    My first guitar is available. Open to offers, around 35 euro. Based in Dublin.
    It is a right handed Ibanez with height adjustable bridge so has easy action. I think it is about 3/4 size (it's smaller than its replacement). Nice warm sound.
    The extra plectrum guard can be peeled off and the strings swapped back for righted use.
    The original machine heads were replaced. New ones don't have 'stiff' spots.

    Quite a reasonable guitar for a beginner actually. One of my brother's mates is still playing it after about 3 years...
