Oops I didnt read beginners before I voted. I voted Les Paul because thats probably the best, but for beginners, an Epiphone SG :)

A fender woul dbe good to start out. But tell you the truth, the better the guitar, the better the learning experience becuase I started out with an acoutstic Douglas D-8 and I don't think I would know as much as I do now if I hadn't started with that guitar. 600$ guitar BTW.

I'd say a Les Paul out of that list but what you really want is a cheap acoustic guitar. You'll develop good technique and dexterity in your fingers and hands. I don't play much electric guitar but the I like the Les Paul for it's nice fat neck and full body. It lends itself pretty nicely to jazz guitar.

im guessing the TC means an epiphone, because Gibsons certainly aren't beginners guitars, unless you're some fancypants. If you're a beginner get a cheap epiphone les paul, sg, or a universal beginner squier strat.

But in the end, real men use Gibson SG's. *poses in cocky way with guitar*

A Les Paul, Explorer, or Flying V is not a beginner's guitar.

Go to a local music store and try some guitars. I hate it how people are always like "GIBSON FTW!!" IMO, there are a lot more choices better than gibson, still good guitars though.

It's not the guitar it's the player.Out of all my guitars(one of which being an Epiphone Les Paul special) i play the acoustic guitar I got for free which i had to flip the strings around for the most. It's beat up, very cheap, I can't even see the dots to easily navigate the fretboard but it's the only guitar I really play out of my 4 guitars. I write all my music on it and perform all of my music on it too.

Never bother with a V, period... especially for a beginner. It's an unstable shape that can make for unstable playing.

The best guitars on the market for beginners, or even in general as good mid-range (these days I don't consider them high-end) is Ibanez, hands-down.

They play the best, have good construction and are versatile. They also have great sound and can be had at great prices.

I played Ibanez exclusively for many years, before moving on to 7-string ESP baritones, which is all I will play anymore.

Les can be friggin' heavy and cumbersom (weight distribution I've always found odd), I wouldn't advise it.

lol the frets are to small fo my taste. Anyway, Ibanez all the way. JEM 7v if you can manage it, was worth every penny.

Epiphone Les Paul I'd say.

I'd buy something else though
