Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: what kind of guiar do u own or did u own when u were just learinig

A cheap Squier Strat as shown in the first link(mine wasn't in pink of course)

and my amp was a Roland Micro cube(second link).It's small and not very powerful,but it has everything a beginer needs.

A Fender Squire Stratocaster.
it is the finest beginner guitar available, for the money.

And better than an acoustic for three reasons:
1) Electric guitar use lighter gauge strings which are easier on your fingers, so you can practice more without blisters.
2) You can practice and electric unplugged, which is quiet.
no one has to hear you if you suck when you first start playing the instrument.
3) they come in some pretty cool colors......see Ebay.

Don't be afraid to by used....you can get a great deal.

Good Luck sweetie

My first guitar was an Epiphone hollow body bass guitar. It had F-holes so it didn't need amplification just for practice. I'm also looking at the Fender Ashby which is only 18 inches long and doesn't have raised frets.

I switched to an acoustical guitar because I like the sound.

Really it's what you prefer. Some of the hard line electric guitar players swear by them, and the acoustical players swear by theirs as well. It pretty much is your decision.

Happy playing.

Oh and don't go for the cheap model they sell at Wal-Mart for $200. You won't like it.

Like many another player, I owned (and still own) a Squier Strat.

I bought it because I was big into Talking Heads at the time, and David Byrne (and Adrian Belew) both played Strats. It's a good guitar to begin playing on. It has a decent clean tone, it's fairly well made for a cheap guitar, it's durable and it has a pleasing classic quality about itself.

Later on I decided that the thin, clean Strat sound isn't for me and I got a Fender Telecaster, and later still, an Ibanez AF-75 archtop. I'm very happy with both but I will never give away or throw away my battered old Squier. If my nine-month old daughter ever grows up to show any interest in playing guitar (which she kind of does already, probably because it's what daddy does while he's keeping an eye on her) then I will pass it on to her.

Oh yeah, it's also cheap. So if you turn out to have no talent, at least you haven't wasted very much money.

If you do get a Squier, I second the suggestion to get a Roland MicroCube. They too are cheap but they're good, and much better than the amp that comes with the Squier starter pack.

I learned on an LG-3 Gibson acoustic parlor guitar. I still have it after 51 years of playing. Through it, I was able to discipline myself on chord structure and progression, music theory and innovation.

I played acoustic guitars for at least four years before going to an electric.

I started with my mom's acoustic, then bought my own. That thing was a POS... the action was horrible, the tuning wasn't consistent, and it really hindered my growth. I kept at it, though! =)

My next guitar was a Washburn Lyon Strat-copy guitar. Strats aren't bad guitars to learn on - mostly because they're cheap, don't have a crazy neck, and there is a wide variety of them to choose from.

I bought an acoustic and a BC Rich after that, regretted the BC Rich cuz it didn't fit my hands very well (I now have an LTD that fits wonderfully!) but I never regretted the acoustic (it's a Fender something or other).

Playing acoustic is different than playing the electric, but you can take your acoustic places where you can't take an electric, and I really like the natural, woody tones you get from an acoustic. The action is higher and you have to toughen your fingers up a little more, too... that's another way to test your dedication. =)
