tax return soon!! im being coerced by my gf and her mom to go on vacation with them in a few months but after paying for that i should have enough left over for a beginner guitar. is the one i linked gonna be good? im surprised by the price, how is a guitar (with good reviews), with an amp and several other accessories that cheap?

also my gf's bday and our anniversary and valentines day are coming up and i wanna get her an electric drum kit since she's been wanting to learn drums. is this one good https://www.guitarcenter.com/Alesis/Nitro-Mesh-Special-Edition.gc?rNtt=alesis%20nitro%20mesh&index=1 its expensive but i know a good quality trap set is much more. i think she'll appreciate this to start off since she can just play into headphones and its more portable

thanks hexbear!

    its so damn cheap i worry abt quality

    My advice it look on Craigslist for somebody who is selling their own "starting guitar" after realizing they don't play it nearly as much as they thought they would, it's pretty common (especially in bougie areas) for people to buy $500 instruments and part with them for half that a couple years later. If you're really lucky you can find an older musician clearing out their garage - just make sure you have the chance to strum it a bit and hear what it sounds like through an amplifier before purchasing.
