Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The best place to buy a guitar is a pawn shop!. They don't often have very big selections, and you will have to look around, but you can usually get a good instrument for about 1/2 the normal price!. also, pawn shops know enough about guitars not to accept junk, so you probably won't get a clunker!.

I tell people to never buy an instrument from the internet or a catalog!. I would never buy and instrument I couldn't play first!. Two guitars of the same brand/model can play very differently!.

Take a guitar player with you and spend a day shopping and learning about guitars!.

Good luck, future guitar player!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You buy a guitar at a music store!. Guitar Center and Sam Ash are two of the big nationwide chains with a good selection and reasonable prices, but there are lots of good independent music shops as well!.

DO NOT buy a guitar at Costco, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, or Sam's Club -- they have cheapo (low-quality) instruments, very little selection, and sales people who know nothing about guitars!.

also, DO NOT buy a guitar sight-unseen off the Internet or out of a catalog!. You need to try out a guitar, see what it feels like to play it, and listen to what it sounds like before you buy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Guitar Center is basically the Wal-Mart of instruments (in the sense of low prices, not cheap products)!. They are always having sales!. If there is a store near buy, go check it out!. Even if it's a couple hours away, it might be worth the drive!. They have everything from super cheap to extremely expensive ones to choose from!. If you can't make it to a store, go to their website!. I'm not sure of any other store that can beat their prices!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

haha well i got my 'lectric guitar from costco! that's just me though!. :P
you can get a guitar at any music store!. here's the most obvious choice though: http://www!.guitarcenter!.com/

i actually recommend learning piano before guitar though!. it's more straightforward and it makes learning guitar a lot more simple!. (:Www@QuestionHome@Com

There must be some instruments stores in malls!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
