Interesting article Randy,  they are all great guitars but I have to say that looking at UK prices many of them seem to be aimed at people with quite big budget. I admit that my first acoustic guitar was not up to much but my first electric was a Yamaha Pacifica which is excellent and cost a fair bit less than many of the guitars on that list. And 4 years on it is still a great guitar. It was ages before I would have even contemplated shelling out for something like a PRS SE. Am I still only buying at beginner level? 😁😂😂😂

My first guitar is an Ovation Standard Balladeer which cost $599. The guitar is still here, plays beautifully, and is always in tune so I am glad I spent the extra money. I could have spent less and I could have gotten a much lower quality guitar.

There is a wide range of prices in this guitar list. Sweetwater didn't call this the cheapest guitars of 2019, and ultimately the list is a sales tool.

One of the big reasons beginners quit early is a poor guitar which doesn't play easily, sound good, or age well. I started with an acoustic, but I have learned for beginners the electric guitar is the better choice because they are easier to play. The Squire models and some Epiphones not listed are perfect starter guitars which cost less than $200.

I assume most people in the forum already purchased their first guitar, and some regret the purchase. But there are many here looking for another guitar.

I think this is a great list. It has something for everyone and those Ibanez guitars are really a great product for their price. I can also say that the PRS SE is hardly a "beginner" only guitar. I have one and it is an amazing guitar all around. Thanks for posting!
