Guitar Links
Below are links to resources. You can get these items at serval different places.
Guitar
There are plenty of great guitars for beginners, this is just one of them. Any body shape will work as long as it is acoustic. Avoid "First Act," "Esteban," and any guitar you can purchase new for under $100. If you have any questions feel free to email me.
Guitar Case
You will want a case. This is the least expensive softshell case I can find that offers minimum protection. There are definitely more expensive options that will offer greater protection.
