Default Re: Guitar(Acoustic or Electric)

Get a cheap (Around Rs. 2K to 3K) but decent acoustic guitar to start with, but don't get a Jumbo. At this range, they have good sound and you can practice both chords and leads easily.

Go electric only AFTER mastering an acoustic. Otherwise you will miss out on a lot of things.

Also, if you end up sucking at guitar, you wouldn't regret having spent 8K for an electric guitar

Anyway, India's local Guitar manufacturing hub is Kolkota. You can buy awesome sounding guitars for less than 2K. And I MEAN awesome. An average guitar for 1K. Thats how it is in Kolkota. I advice you to see if you have a friend or relative there and get it bought from there.

And once you master acoustic guitar, DONT go for a local brand electric guitar. Get something decent.
