Beginner Guitar Recommendations
I would stick to the major brands when purchasing a guitar. The reputation of the brand is very important for quality and resale value. These major brands also have guitars that can be manufactured outside of the US for a much cheaper price that don’t compromise quality.
THE GUITARS RECOMMENDED BELOW ARE THE CHEAPEST IN COST OF THE MAJOR MODELS AND ARE NOT MADE IN THE USA. GREAT FOR STARTING OUT.
Rock
If you’re interest is in rock and roll, then you’re going to want an electric guitar. Pay mind though; you will also have to purchase an amplifier and distortion pedal (I’ll go into those in another post) Here are the Guitars I recommend for Rock. Fender Stratocaster, Gibson Les Paul or if you’re playing METAL… Ibanez or Hamer
Squier by Fender Affinity Series Stratocaster Electric Guitar Black Rosewood Fretboard
Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Studio Deluxe Electric Guitar Wine Red
Ibanez RG2EX1 Electric Guitar Black
Country
If your interest is Country, then you’re going to want either an acoustic or electric, I would recommend a Fender Telecaster for an electric and a Martin for an acoustic.

Martin LXM Little Martin Acoustic Guitar Black
Classical
this is a very different type of guitar. This guitar is mostly picked with your individual fingers and contains nylon strings. I would recommend a Yamaha or Lucero for starting out. Good classical guitars can be quite expensive for higher quality.

Jazz
This is primarly played on an electric guitar. I’d recommend a Fender Jazzmaster with it’s smooth hollow tones or a Gibson Les Paul. The Les Paul has a very rich classy smooth sound.

Am I The Type Who Gets Bored Or Frusterated Easily?…
You’ll want to decide which type of guitar will be best for you to learn on……
If you’re the type who wants results right away and doesn’t want to have to go through the pain and frusteration….. I would recommend an electric. It is much easier to press on the strings and the strings are lighter to play. However, an acoustic you can play anywhere and it will strengthen your hands so that when you do play an electic, it will seem like you’ve gone from swinging two bats to one! (A little baseball analogy for you)
