Costco guitar. Any good?

I agree with Bob but I would in addition to going to music stores check out music consignment stores and pawn shops. Definatley bring a knowledgable friend with you. I never buy new guitars because the ones built even in the 90's are better than new ones.

The most important key to remember when you first start playing guitar is how easy is it to actually play which brings up the point of "finger action". Look at the distance from the string to the neck. This distance should be as close as possible. Make sure there is no buzzing by playing each fret on each string. If the guitar is setup correctly each note should ring clearly. Also the type of string is important, light strings are much easier on the fingers than heavy strings, but some will argue that lighter strings don't have the sound quality of heavier strings. Even though I agree with Bob about taking a friend with you, remember that every guitarist has different likes and dislikes about the instruments they buy and play, you have to be the final judge. Same goes for the pick selection. There so many choices out there you have to get a sample and try them out. I personally use light picks on double string instruments, ie. mandolin, bouzouki, and 12 string guitar and medium picks on acoustic and electric 6 string guitars. Hope this helped!

Probably OK IF...You get someone to set it up ($25-$50), run light strings (not extra light), and tune it to Eb (get a capo)...

Now the tone might be highly suspect, but, it will work a a first guitar which you save your $$'s for a good one...My first was a 12-string Gibson I bought in 1968 (with my whole tax refund)...It was a bear to tune and play, but, today, it is incredibly beautiful (in sound and appearance)...It, forever, handicapped my playing, but I find it impossible to play anything that doesn't sound as good....Bottom line, pick a very good guitar to start with and you will be rewarded later...

Good? For $95.00 you will get what you pay for. However, if you are just starting out and don't want to make an investment yet, this is a good little kit. The fact it includes a tuner and dummies book too is nice. The guitar may play fair even though it's cheap, but don't set your hopes too high for this price. If you want to start playing with minimal, and I mean absolute minimum investment, this looks good.

Get an Ibanez Gio for 100.00 and tighten down the floating bridge so that it stays in tune. Put some real light-gauge strings on it and have some fun. Save your money and buy a real guitar when you cannot stand it anymore.
