>>39904771Tip from a guy in a professional band, you can't go wrong with Ibanez. Not my tip mind you, friend of mine. Not that other brands don't produce good guitars, but from what I understand the quality is hit or miss, while Ibanez is pretty solid almost all the time. The gio models are the low end of what you can get because they're a mass produced model from japan or wherever, but even then they're perfectly serviceable as a beginner guitar.
Also, tip I posted a week or so ago (in USD)
>100-400 = Beginner level guitar>400-700 = Intermediate level>700-1000 = Professional level>1000+ = The guitar isn't getting any better, it's just getting more unique via style or add ons.A beginner level guitar from a good brand is still a perfectly good guitar, and if you're inclined to it, you can upgrade one to be on par with possibly professional level guitars, it's just there's little reason to upgrade something cheap to something expensive when you can just buy an intermediate or professional level one instead.
