ok, ggirl. dh takes this seriously . Here's his advice:
It's quite hard to get a half-decent new steel-stringed guitar for less than £100, although you'd be able to pick up a second hand one. Cheaper guitars usually have issues with staying in tune and don't sound so good, which you really notice once your playing starts to develop.
If possible I'd advise that you try a guitar out before you buy so you can check that it looks and sounds ok - ideally get a guitar player to go along and give their opinion. Acoustic guitars come in all shapes and sizes and for a teenage girl I'd recommend a small-bodied guitar. If at all possible try to get one with a solid spruce top as it will sound a lot better than one with a laminated wood top.
A very good starter guitar is the Vintage V300. It has a solid top, is very good quality for the price and you can pick up a new one for under £100. It even comes in a girly pink and pale blue as well as a natural finish. It really is worth getting a decent instrument like this to start on, especially if your daughter is already a musician.
If you can afford to go up to £150 then there are a lot more good quality instruments available - check out guitars by Yamaha, Tanglewood and Freshman in this price range.
Here's a link to one of many sites online which sell the Vintage V300.
