Hi guys...

My sister's asked my advice on buying a guitar for her fiance. She's after something VERY cheap, (we're talking £60 - £100, but as close to 60 as possible) just to get him started until he's sure he wants to play, (he's actually a drummer who's not allowed a drum kit).

I'm a little bit out of the loop for guitars in this price range, (it's been years since I looked a guitar less than £300, I must admit!) so I was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions on brands/models that, whilst cheap and cheerful, are still, relatively speaking, value for money. I'd rather try and get him something that will at least stay in tune and has a nice action than just a "my first guitar which nearly broke my fingers".

Am I gonna struggle in this sort of price range?

Thanks in advance.
Don't worry too much about me, ignore me long enough and I'll go away.
