I know there are a lot of muscians out there. Some guy at my son's trade school is trying to sell him an Ibanez RGT42DXFX electric guitar for $400. Is this a good deal? Keep in mind my son is not a guitarist but a beginner wanting to learn. I told him he should get a less expensive acoustic guitar to start. Advice appreciated.
