Tips about Guitar Starter Kits

Ideal gifts for the budding musician or as a low cost entry point for the person who wants to give guitars a go. Usually consisting of an acoustic, electric or bass guitar, plus combo amplifier, these kits often come with either a tuition book, cd or dvd. Many also include strap, tuner and plectrums. Popular makes are Epiphone, Squier and Yamaha.

If buying a guitar starter from a dealer that doesn't come pre-boxed (many dealers put their own kits together) remember to ensure that you get all the elements needed for a beginner - it's no use having the kit without some sort of tuition facility, nor strap and plectrum.
