Tagged As: Beginner Guitar Player Question: Does anyone have any recommendations for a lower priced yet good sounding acoustic/electric guitar for a beginner? I played years ago but have lost the touch. I have been a bluegrass banjo player for years. I would like a guitar that could stand up for a bluegrass sound but that I could also plug in to an amp so I can play with my son.

If you must plug in and play on stage, add a good internal pickup later. You mention the desire to play with bluegrass players and then plugged in with your son who I’m going to guess plays electric.
