Electric guitar...

There is a Nylon string acoustic guitar for sale on craigslist in your area if you want to get going on the guitar right away. Nylon String acoustic guitars are much easier to play than the steel string acoustics.

Something to get started with quick, use it and when your new one comes in resell on craiglist again. Strike when the inspiration is hot.

I have a steel string acoustic that I have had for years, and it hard to play for any extended period taking a lot of force to push the steel strings down and hard on the finger tips. Maybe I could pick up a Nylon String Acoustic here locally and give it a go again.

Not really recommending a steel string for beginners, but here is a 100 dollar guitar in your area as an example:

this goes back to my post….buy a quality guitar and it won’t be a battle to play. Yes, they cost more, but their ease of playability, and the fact that they hold their value, far outweighs the struggle you can have with a cheaper instrument. It turns a lot of potential players away having to struggle with the instrument while struggling with learning how to play as well!

here is a guitar a friend of mine is selling. He is asking $1500, 1/2 of the current value of the guitar, and it’s very rare to find one at all. Don’t like it? You could sell it again for what you paid in a heartbeat!
