          All I'll say is you get what you pay for. If it's got an amp and all the extras for $159- what do you think the guitar is worth? Save up more money and buy a quality guitar, you will be much happier...

              Here is a guy that sells that one new for $99.
              http://216.119.87.84/JS-800.htm

              So it cant be the best guitar in the world.
              But it might work to learn with if you dont have alot of cash.

                      You could get started with that, but you'd probably outgrow it fairly quickly. First question would be what sort of music do you want to play - what's good for R&B isn't necessarily going to cut the mustard if death metal's your thing..

                          It's best not to start with something simple as those cheap rigs can discourage you from continuing on because of the bowed necks, dischording, cheap fret material, etc.. If it's something you think you're going to stay with for awhile, get a good rig.. be it Fender, Gibson, etc.. check out http://www.musiciansfriend.com .. they have a nice selection and reasonable prices. They have a Yahama Pacifica 112 for $129 that might make a nice starter if you're not sure of your intentions.

                                          Playing a cheap guitar will saw your fingers raw.
                                          The necks are usually warped and twisted, the strings are too
                                          far off the neck and make playing more difficult, the frets are
                                          usually seated so poorly that you get fret-buzz and it sounds
                                          crappy.

                                          Even though that ebay bid is over I wouldn't pay $15.00 for the
                                          whole thing, it's a toy not a guitar.

                                              so, what would be the price range of the guitars that are worth buying for a starter? i have some experience with classic guitar but it got boring after a while. so i wanna move on to the electric guitar but i am a newbie pretty much, so i dont need anything fancy.

                                                  Get a good guitar it's worth the investment.
                                                  Play through a Pignose. The Pignoses are cheap and they work.

                                                      I think Ibanez has a line that you could pick up for $400 which is pretty good for starters (buy a new guitar) and you could pick up a Peavy 158 amp, (better than pignose anyway) under $100 (probably under $50) when you progress, you can upgrade the pickups and the bridge to your guitar and have a pretty decent piece of hardware

                                                      Enjoy
