Im not saying it isnt bad advice. I got stuck with crappy guitar with really high action and thick strings. It was discouraging and caused me to give up sometimes because it was so hard. But I kept picking it back up, i still have the guitar and still have trouble forming some chords on it, but every time i pick up another guitar I can form those tricky chords with ease. So in a way he's right, but I wouldn't recommend taking his advice. Starting outs with a guitar like that isn't going to really give you any benefit, maybe a little extra finger strength.

Anyway, I'm looking to pick up a new acoustic-electric guitar. My budget is 200-500, can anyone make some recommendations?
