I’m 16 and just enrolled in a guitar course in school. I’m very serious about purchasing one that i can use that is durable and has great sound. I can’t decide on a brand tho. i’m looking at a Gibson/Epiphone on ebay for two hundred. Seller is 99.7% positive feedback. Would this be a good beginner? Or would it be a lot of upkeep? Can i take it wherever (e.g. to a friend’s to play, to my school for class, etc.)? If you have any specific brands or models i would appreciate it.
Thank you.

I’ve been playing a Gibson Epiphone for years. I had some junky guitars when I started playing. All had bad actions and were hard to play. I think my Epiphone cost me $230 new in 1998.

I bought a good case and take it wherever I want. It’s pretty good as far as wear and tear go. I don’t do much to keep it in good condition. It usually goes back in the case as soon as I’m done playing. I’ve put a few scratches in it, but nothing big. I wipe it down when I’m done playing but rarely use any kind of polish or cleaner.

I’ve gone through a truckload of different string set-ups over the years. I used to use Martin strings, then D’Addario. I switched to Ernie Ball Earthwood a few months ago and they play so easy. I tried Elixer strings last month. They’re good, but they cost twice as much as the Ernie Ball strings and I think the Ball’s last longer and sound better. Elixer is a gimmick.

If I was going to buy a new guitar tomorrow I would get a Breedlove. I’ve played a bunch of them and like them better than Ovation, Takamine, or Martin. (but I like it because it has a good action and a nice hollow sound…not a tinny sound like the Takamine.)
