Guitar recommendations, please

Good service = future customer. Especially in the music biz. Well done, BV!

I'm thinking about learning to play guitar. I think I'd probably end up playing folk songs, mostly. I would like to be able to someday pick up mandolin and some other more folk instruments.

I've been going to a lot of folk dances and Irish pubs lately, and at some point I'd like to be able to sit in on some of the open band nights.

I need recommendations on what type of starter guitar I should get (acoustic, six steel strings?). I'm looking to spend between $100 and $300 USD. I'd also like recommendations on learning to tune a guitar.

Sorry, Bruce. We're past the point of trying to impress each other.

And UB, not that kind of folk music.

C'mon, everything you've done since your aborted bike trip revolves around her. I'm envious, it's great to be young and in love. Enjoy.

It is pretty damn good (understatement of the century)... [/hijack] So, about them guitars?
