I am 12 years old. I know the basics, and a few chords. I have picked up an acoustic and played a little bit before, but not too much. I'm hoping to find a used guitar under 100$ with good sound. Anyone know where I should look? Thanks!

You often can find real deals at the link below--sometimes they even have starter electric guitar kits by name brand manufacturers that include a decent beginner instrument plus a little practice amp. Be aware, however, that buying a guitar from a thrift shop or online auction or hock shop or classified ad involves some risk. Be prepared to take your secondhand guitar to a shop and have them set it up for playability.
BTW, if you do start out with a little 15-watt or similar practice amp, never get rid of it (unless it breaks)--even if you buy a pro quality head and speaker cab, the practice amp someday will come in handy.

Try the Guitar Center, or Sam Ash, they will be in the phone book, if not try the guitar stores in your area, if that fails look in the phone book for used instruments, and make sure you check your local newspapers, they have a lot of used guitars in there. If your just starting I would recommend an acoustic guitar first, your going to be very disappointed at how an electric guitar sounds when your first learning, I've tried to tell a lot of my students this and they don't listen and later on their sorry, nothing sounds worst then when a person is trying to learn guitar on electric, and I'm sure your parents would appreciate it !!!!!

you are not going to get a good electric guitar for under $100.00 dollers. What you are going to get is a cheap guitar that will not stay in tune.
I would advise you to look at http://www.guitarcenter.com/shop/navigation/squeek-eaze-solid-body-six-string-electric-guitar?N=100005+326241+200986
and look at the Squier Affinity Series Telecaster Special Electric Guitar this $169.00 or the Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster Special Electric Guitar.
I have had this telecaster for about 5 years now and it is the best guitar made in under $200.00 range. The strat is a very good guitar but I like the sound of a telecaster.

If just the guitar then getting something like an Epiphone LP Special II might be a good one. If you want an amp as well then you aren't going to be able to get a good setup for that amount. Personally I'd say your best bet is just to go to a guitar shop and ask them.

Look in pawn shops,! You'd be surprised how many musicians have had to "sacrifice" a good playing guitar! I have found a lot of good playing guitars for real low prices!
