Yamaha doesn't make guitars. :lol: Err... yes they do. " :lol: " I'd go for an Epiphone or Ibanez, good brands. Behringer is also good for beginner's guitar. my mistake. i thought he said...........yahema..... Smooth. When I first started in junior high, I got an acoustic First Act. Honestly, I wouldn't even consider one, but they're REALLY cheap, they're sold at your local Wal-Mart, and aren't TOO bad.
