Get the Taylor Big-Baby. Its about $350 new and I PROMISE you will love it. I've played for years and this is my first guitar, I learnt so much on it.
Please consider.
With guitars, We can't tell you what guitar you will like, I can say stuff like, lower stings to the fret board would help a beginner play, but that's about it. You should go out to some music shops and just try a good handful out. Make a note of the ones you like and write up the pros and cons of them all, after that, make your final decision.(Most people in guitar shops will help you out with questions, like what body wood is it and etc) Note : The make of the guitar does not matter at all, obviously if you are unsure of the make, do a bit of background research.
Epifone or fender but it really matters what you like most and what is the most comfortable for you.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
