Guitar-playing Facebook friends: I'm writing with a general request for advice. I'd like to take up guitar and would like to start with an acoustic. Do you have any suggestions on models and how much would be a fair price for me to pay for a quality guitar without breaking the bank? Naturally, I'd also like individual instruction and would like some advice on what I should look for when considering an instructor. If any of you in my neck of the woods know anyone in Alexandria that you'd like to recommend, I'm open to suggestions. Any and all advice would be much appreciated.
