My daughter is having guitar lessons from a friend of mine. She has learnt a few cords and loves it. She wants an electric guitar for christmas but as she has had many hobbies that come and go i dont want to go to great expense. So are the guitar's from argos and the high street any good and can anyone recommend a brand that is good quality.

Epihone make really good beginner electric guitars and are cheap.They are pretty much a Gibson brand,and gibsons are really high quality.Its all according to what style she is wanting to play.The epiphone guitars sound great for Country,Classical,Southern Rock and Blues.If she wants to get a more metal feel than go with an inexpensive BC Rich or cheap Ibanez.The cheaper versions of these guitars will run around $150 to $200 dollars.Another good version of a beginner guitar would be the K starter series guitars and they run around 100 dollars.
