I'm thinking of upgrading my beginer's guitar - yamaha f310, which has done me well, but I think is a bit too buzzy and rattly now,(probably my technique, but let's blame the guitar). I'll pass it down to my daughter, who is starting to show a bit of interest.

Any suggestions at maybe around the £250/300 mark?

Play only for my own pleasure, Neil young/pink floyd/ strumalong easy stuff. But I enjoy it.

Thanks

Ally

A decent setup will help your Yamaha. With your budget I would be looking at something from Crafter's range. Their value is fantastic IMO

Sticks and Strings in Thatcham stocks Crafter guitars as does Dawsons in Reading. Another place worth a look is the guitar centre in Farnham - huge range to try out and a great place (was there this morning).

These are great for the money.

(agree a decent set-upon the Yamaha will help)

Slightly over budget, but I bought the above a few weeks ago. Brilliant sound great to play with no set-up needed for the action. Well worth the money.

HTH.
