I'm looking for a nice acoustic guitar for under $150. I am a beginner, but have never owned a guitar before. I was looking at this one for $99 at Guitar Center. Anything better for the price range of under $150?

Epiphone is a subsidiary of Gibson, so it should be a decent guitar for the price.

My first bass was an Ibanez GSR-200, and I loved it. It has really good action, and sounds great. I recommend it all the way. They run around $200, but they have a step down model for $170 or so. My recommendation is to go to a music store and play a bunch of the basses. Every bass is different, so until you play a bunch of different models you won't be able to make the best decision. It might not be the most popular advice, but my suggestion is that you pick a bass that is easy to play before worrying totally about sound quality. Good luck!
