For basic, initial, self taught play, ANY Guitar that you CAN tune, and stays in tune long enough to practice on, is GOOD.
$39.95 may not get you a major GIG once you become proficient, but it's function is no different than one costing $399.95 or more.
Good on Ya, I just reintroduced myself to the guitar and Aldara sent me two books to aid my enjoyment.

Yea, I think it's fine. When I first started playing guitar, I got a really cheap used guitar to learn on. That way I could test and see if I really enjoyed playing guitar or not before putting a lot of money into it. But I just recently bought a guitar off of my brother, and it's a really good one, and I love it. You can definitely hear the difference in sound of the 2 guitars. But I think the guitar you got is good while your a beginner, but eventually you may want to upgrade.

listen, there are many different guitars out there and many jerks who are stuck on one type.
If you are just learning, then GOD BLESS First Act! You'll probably outgrow it and wnat a nicer one after a while, that is normal.
Les Paul was once asked if that was a 1959 Les Paul Custom guitar he was playing; his response was "It's not the guitar that makes the music, it's the person holding it."
Have fun with it and don't worry about what people say, if it helps you to learn then it is a good one.

I have a FirstAct acoustic, and no matter how many other acoustics I play, I still prefer mine. It's compact with a hell of a lot of sound for it's size, and for what I play on it (chorded songs and a few riffs for when the electric is being balky) it's good.
It's not neccessarily how expensive or what kind of quality the guitar is, it's what kind of music you're playing on it and how good you are at such music. You can make a piece-of-**** guitar sound phenomenal if you're playing music that's suited to it's flaws.

Probably okay for a while. You might consider putting some decent strings on it though. A better quality string will keep you from breaking the high E all the time. Martin is a very good brand for strings. Go to a musical instrument store, for a few bucks more they will string it and tune it for you. Helps alot just starting out. Good Luck and have fun!

Yeah that sounds about right for a beginner. As you progress and gain more experience you can move up to a nicer guitar, something that can keep up with you..

I haven't tried one but have seen them in many stores. I suspect for the money you might be better off buying a higher quality used guitar. But use this one to learn on and then upgrade later.

yes if you are a beginner there is nothing wrong with that. Who says you have to learn on a les paul/strat/etc. many famed guitar players learned on a five-and-dimer....

It's not the brand that matters. It's talent and drive that determine things. Brand's are just cheaply mass-produced stickers made for products.
