I have a black Takamine acoustic/electric guitar. It has a pickup to play through a PA system or amp. I've used it to play live before and it sounds good plugged in. Also has a built-in tuner, which will save you $50-100 since you won't have to buy a separate tuner. Comes with a padded gig bag. $225 or best offer

This would be good for a beginner or an experienced player. If you buy a really cheap one as a first guitar, they can be hard to play and that can discourage young players. This one plays good, looks good, and sounds good.
