My wife wants an acoustic electric guitar and an amp she can plug in both the guitar and her microphone into. I know less than nothing about musical instruments, TWW to the rescue!

What should I get, where should I be looking? I'm in Greensboro, so local stores to gboro and Raleigh are fine, I'm also fine with buying online. Not looking to spend more than a couple hundred unless I have to in order not to buy junk.

She isn't a pro, but she loves playing and will use both a lot.

Guitar Center over by 4 Seasons Mall. There is really no other place you need to look, they will take care of you.

Thanks everybody, I'm always skeptical of big retail stores, but I'll check out guitar center tomorrow.

Guitar center is pretty great.

guitar center is like wal-mart.


that said, an entry level acoustic electric and an amp combo will be cheapest there.


i'd recommend a lower model Ovation Celebrity series, for your price range. They're decent acoustic-electrics.


As for an acoustic amp, the Dean Markley AG15 15 watt amp is a bare-bones, portable amp that's easy to lug around. And it's usually < $100
