    Question Suggestions for a new guitar!

    This may be a repeated topic here, but everyone of us has a own choice So here i post again...!
    I am currently having Hobner 265 Acoustic Guitar. It has grown old so the screws of the string winders have been screwed! :P So i am planning to buy a new guitar for about 5k to 6k at the most. I am still learning to play guitar but know it fairly well.
    I am planning to buy it online. I did some research and found the following models:
    Acoustic:
    1. GB&A AG110 - Rs. 3500
    2. Givson Venus Super Special - Rs. 2950
    3. Pluto Guitar HW41C - Rs. 4150
    3. Hobmer M235 - Rs. 4400
    4. Yamaha F210 - Rs. 5500
    Electric:
    1. Givson Electric Blue Bird - Rs. 4100
    2. Givson Electric GS1000 - Rs. 4600
    3. PlutoElectric ST-3 - Rs. 5900

    Some Questions:-
    1. Which guitar is good for a beginner for me? Electric or Acoustic??
    2. Are Givson Guitars good?
    3. Any other model which is good and i have missed?

    Suggestions please ppl. Which one is good for me?

    +1 for the Yamaha.

    That said, last day I got to play an 80's MIJ Ibanez acoustic owned by an elder in our church. It still sounds fabulous and apart from a little fret wear, it still is perfect.
    So if you are serious about your guitar playing and take good care of your instrument, go ahead and splurge a bit on a quality one - it will serve you well in the long run...

    Others: Yamaha MM-6 Synth, M-Audio Fast Track, Shure SM-57, Heet Sound E-Bow Plus

    Guitars are not rocket science, means that every guitar sounds different, even 2 models of the same make, so I'd advise you to not buy online and as mentioned, go to a store and try them for yourself. That being said, the yamaha you have listed is pretty good!
