Anything cheaper won’t be very good and will put him off learning as it just won’t sound very good. A suggestion would be to get it professionally set up in the store"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51665578","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mendoza"},"datePublished":"2023-12-04T21:00:15.000Z","text":"my first one was an acoustic, from Argos I believe.

My budget is ideally within £150 but I can stretch a bit more if it is hard to get anything half decent within that range. I feel completely lost so any help would be highly appreciated."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51955878","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Judosteffer"},"datePublished":"2024-01-11T07:10:27.000Z","text":"Look on Facebook marketplace for a Yamaha Pacifica. Loads of examples usually about £70 to £100. These are extremely well made guitars that can actually last a lifetime. It will certainly need new strings, so look on Amazon for Ernie ball 42-9 strings. I think about £8 a pack. These need replacing about every 6 months as they eventually corrode from playing. You'll need a practice amplifier as well, these are usually made by Peavey, Fender, Roland or Marshall and should be around £30-£70 second hand. If your child gets in a band with their friends it will keep the enthusiasm up!"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51783789","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"barryw27"},"datePublished":"2023-12-19T13:34:22.000Z","text":"robertdyas.co.uk/3rd…BwE Something like that would start them off handy enough and then as they hopefully develop a greater interest that's the time to invest more money . Plenty to give them a good starting point"}],"commentCount":9,"interactionStatistic":8,"articleSection":"Ask"}
