STRONG +1 ditto to Lloyd S

1. Acoustic-electric NOW, be done with it.

2. and ESPECIALLY for first guitar (actually until she REALLY KNOWs guitars) - buy it using "HANDS-ON." That is, only after SHE tries it and you do a full hands-on test for buzzes, tuners, bridge, fit/finish, neck, electric components, etc.

As far as brand and type the whole gambit has essentially been covered and all are good suggestions (but like what is best piano VSTi - pretty subjective and personal).

But remember smaller and thinner come with less projection (usually) - another reason for "plugability."


Too bad Guild doesn't still make the Song Bird - thin body, single cutaway, electro-acoustic with GREAT projection and sound almost like a full body dreadnaught, but plays more like an electric

GOOD LUCK (to her and you for helping)

Larry
