I used to play, a bit, I know what's good and what's not, yeah.
But I'm not an expert, or a good guitarist

Because the £59 one is not a known brand, and a £69 Electric will be rubbish quality.

Epiphone are Gibson's budget brand, Gibson are one of the massive names, like Fender.

£100 for an Epiphone is worth it, it'll sound better than a cheapy one, and not be as flimsy.

Electrics, remember you need to add the cost of an amplifier, and you'll have crap pickups on a £59 one... (pickups being the bit that picks up the sound) crap pickups = crap sound.

You'd spend £200 on a cheap-ish Electric and a 15W-20W amp, which wasn't a decent branded one.

Definitely Robbo, you get what you pay for, decent guitar would be ruined by a crap amp too, and the amp is often the killer for price, my brother bought a Vox AC30, and it was more than his Fender Telecaster

ebony is black... go for ebony as the natural is not really a very nice colour whereas black looks different IMO

Yamaha are great acoustic and electric guitars. Good for starters.

I learnt on an acoustic, hard on the hands at first but great sound and more satisfying I think. I also have an electric but dont enjoy it as much. Its ok for a change but I prefer acoustic

My tip would be to learn barre chords as soon as possible, it opens up a whole new way of playing imo.

Natural is left, Ebony is right. Can't see options for ordering the middle colour? (Vintage Sunburst?)

Black looks best actually.
