Ibanez makes great guitars for every level of playing. I would suggest the starter pack. My first guitar was an Ibanez and i still have it. I just love how smooth and thin the neck is and the action is great. The only thing that got me was the finish, it looked too angry for me(who am I to complain, I got it from a friend that was quitting for free
). So I have started to cover it with stickers.
