i try getting back into playing so thanks!
yeah there’s definitely another level of guitar which is cheap and not worth the money. i try to get people to stay away from those. they tend to be so bad that anyone learning the guitar gets put off, as it sounds like you did. like you say, they tend to go out of tune easily, be of bad quality and are typically actually really difficult to play.
but you can definitely get some quality built guitars for a decent price if you know what to go for. i hope you get back into and give guitar another chance – and yeah like you
