get one that wows you. no matter what anyone says, if it feels good in your hand, and you like the way it looks, you will want to pick it up and play it. if you dont have one, you cant possibly know what you like and dislike, so when people talk "value" its all relative to what you like and dislike vs the cost.

play a bunch of the ones in the store and buy the one you like, not the one for beginners or a genre.

Goto a guitar store and play 10 guitars, all different kinds. Spend an hour there and you'll have a pretty good idea of what you like.

As a general rule though, I wouldn't buy a guitar from a company that also makes motorcycles. Fender makes decent cheap acoustics.

So if he's "learning" to play guitar how would he know what he likes? I remember learning and I had NO CLUE what I "liked" and what "feels good". It all feels the same to a newbie.

Really any good brand acoustic will be good to learn on. Takamine, Fender, Ibanez are some good entry brands. Please don't spend over $500 on a first guitar...Have fun!

I don't know a lot about guitars. I have been a beginner for about ten years now. I just sold my first guitar. It was a big baby taylor. I sold it to a pretty well known guitar instructor in the area. He said that was about the 60th one he's bought because it's what he likes to start high school kids off with.
