I suggest a Washburn...a washburn anything...banjo...guitar...nose trumpet...anything they sell. It's all good and higher than my expectations. I bought my first washburn for 100 bucks on musicians friend when i was first starting out and it came with 18:1 gear ratio tuners and it's pretty much my favorite guitar ever. and it was only 100 dollars. If thats their low end model I need to get their high end stuff.
