Is this a decent guitar?!


Question: I want to learn how to play guitar but I don't want to spend a lot because I usually give up new hobbies after 6 months or so (LOL)... I have no idea what to look for! I found this on Target.com and I like the 'for dummies' stuff usually so I thought it might be good for me. I don't know anything about the features of the guitar, though. So any help would be great!

theres nothing wrong with that kit at all. id get it.
top notch guitars are only good for showing off to other players.
i have two good guitars at home, but what am i walking around playing on most of the time? my crappy made in china epiphone.
my first guitar cost £10 and only had 4 strings, dont spend loads if you dont have to.

no... if youre not going to buy a nice one dont start you can get a good one for 200 to start with... guitar takes a long time to learn so dont waste your time if youre not committed

I couldn't tell if it even stated the maker, but I'm sure it's pretty crappy. It may be perfect for you though if you think you are just going to give up, and if you don't even have the impetus to research the guitar you want. I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, but the guitar is a musical instrument like any other, and it requires a lot of motivation and devotion to get good at it - if you are already looking for the easy way out you probably won't stick with it once your fingers start to swell and blister from the strings.

Actually, guitar classes tend to start beginners on nylon stringed guitars partially because they are easier on the fingers. Maybe you should try taking a beginner class first where you can rent the guitar just for the duration of the class? Then if you like it you can buy a decent guitar instead of wasting your money on something you'll just have to replace.

I'm a novice guitar player and I recently purchased a Simon and Patrick guitar for $360.00 and am really pleased with its exceptional sound quality. They're a Canadian company out of Quebec. I'm not sure about the target package, but generally, you get what you pay for. I also play trumpet, so from my experience there I can say that generally a reputable mid-price-range instrument is much better than a bargain, low-quality make. It really makes learning an instrument more enjoyable when you're not having to contend with the flaws of a poorly made instrument.

If you're hesitant about investing a lot in a hobby you're not too sure about, you could always try renting a better-quality guitar for a couple months. Lots of music stores offer month- to-month rentals as well as rent to own plans. I just feel that the better sounding the instrument, the more likely you are to stick with it. Also when you do start playing, I recommend light gauge strings-- the heavier ones will kill you're fingers if you're just starting out.

compared to what you would get if you went out and spent $500-1000, this will be a piece of crap. However, it is probably decent enough to teach yourself some chords or songs or whatever. If you find you like playing guitar you can buy a better one later. Personally I would never buy a piece of crap instrument from target, but I did get a free guitar from sam ash that is probably of similar quality and I still mess around on it. It's alright.
