Heyy there, my name is Ali. I'm interesting in purchasing a guitar. I love to sing so I thought they'd go hand in hand. I've wanted to play for a while, but I've been too busy. But now I've cleared parts of my schedule to learn how. I'm going to be taking lessons first .. but I need advice. What kind of guitar should I start out with? Something not too pricey please! Something acoustic not electric.
But if you know of any other places in that area that sells guitars please tell me!

I have a Yamaha and it cost only 200 and it's a pretty dam good guitar. Also an Ovation is good to. Don't get a Celebrity though. Those are crap. Ibanez are pretty good guitars too. i have a couple. Martins are a good choice of course. They range in price. Also Alvarez of course. Another would be to try a Washburn. I know, there really cheap but there actually pretty dam good guitars for the price. [ dottie4's advice column | Ask dottie4 A Question ]

The guitars in the link you showed are probably not going to be cheap - Martin, Takamine, Alvarez, and Taylor are all top-notch makers of acoustic guitars. Martins can be priced well into the thousands of dollars.
If you do check out my column on music - you'll see that I rant and rave about making sure you pick a guitar that feels comforatable to you - this is very important... if it feels wrong in your hands, you should probably not choose that guitar.
