Wife wants a guitar

Along with Riff Raff, I would recommend starting on an acoustic guitar. You can find good ones, relatively inexpensive. I would highly recommend Yamaha acoustic. They're good beginner guitars that don't cast a fortune. Make sure that whatever you get is a solid top.

If she absolutely wants to go with electric, fender makes a decent, inexpensive electric, as does Epiphone.

Sorry, hadn't have my morning coffee yet

she wants an acoustic. I appreciate the opinions and thoughts on this. We have been to a couple pawn shops looking, but it is difficult to make a decision when I do not know much about them. Thanks again for some new ideas.

I am in the same boat as your wife a months ago. I wanted to learn how to play an acoustic guitar. However, after trying several guitars, I ended buying an electric guitar to learn on. I bought the cheapest Ibanez the store had. Made learning a lot easier.

If she insist on an acoustic, I would get her one of the smaller 3/4 scale guitars (little martin, baby taylor etc) and have the action adjusted (not sure if that is the correct term).
