What's a good, inexpensive acoustic guitar for me to learn on?



So far I'm looking at Washburn, Fender Squier, and Ibanez. Your opinions on those brands and others would be appreciated.

Washburns are nice, I had two P-2's. My ibanez 6 acoustic is still one of my favorites also. But I am not a big fan of their electrics. I had a few and never much liked em. I would stick to the Fenders. They have nice wide fret boards and the action is always good on Fenders even the cheap Mexican made ones. I would get a Squire Strat or Tele.

You would really like the sound of a Jag or old mustang if you can find one.

Also make sure to play some Gibsons also, they are nice also.

There is also Martin (great, but expensive). I personally like the Ibanez. (Squier is the made in China version of Fender)

I messed with a '74 Strat a couple weeks ago, but they're a little out of my price range until I decide I'm going to get serious. I don't want to spend a lot now and let it sit in a closet collecting dust. If I'm still playing a lot in a year I'll get something nicer.
