Ovation AB24A-4 Acoustic Guitar

basic but okay

[Wilum]

I've been playing for over 40 years. Last year I decided I needed an acoustic so I could practice anywhere without an amp. In 1982 I bought an Ibanez 12 string acoustic that has the sweetest sound today so I decided to purchase the Ibanez Performance Series PF15 Cutaway Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar at Musician's Friend for $199.99. Very easy to play and I suggest a perfect starter guitar with electric advantage for future use. Also has a built-in tuner. Stays in tune quite well, didn't have to re- tune at our last outdoor gig all night. Take a look at it. Good buy.

I would strongly suggest that you look for something used of good quality. $200 will only get you aggravation.

Option 2 is to take lessons where they might loan you a guitar that you can pay off over time, or buy eventually.

I tell parent not to buy a cheap guitar for their kids, as they will lose interest. These guitars are difficult to tune.

If you have a Guitar Center, go there and try out some guitars. Whatever the price, offer them 1/2.

Aria makes good guitars. This one needs a little cleaning up, new strings and to rescrew one of the tuners. If you have someone to work on the guitar it might work for you. Under $100.
