Thanks for the tip. If I end up buying one, I'm probably going to aim a notch above a starter so I don't have any regrets over the quality if I really get into the guitar. I figure I can probably afford something around the $200 mark in a month or so.

I also have a possible lead on a free one because a co-worker is leaving to spend several years in Thailand as a missionary starting in late summer and he'll be cutting back on his possessions.
