No need to pay more than $300 for a first steel guitar. I have bought many good guitars from cash converters, people buy expensive guitars, dont learn and lose interest and then trade them cheap, I have a nice Takemine steel acoustic/elec with cut away that retails for around $1200 I payed $280 with a case at CConverters, the case was worth $150.

If you are serious about learning guitar, when it comes to tabs, download TuxGuitar. Its free and will let you read Guitar Pro and several other tab file formats. It will play the music as well so you can play along with it.
Most of my tabs are still in plain old text format, but that's OK too.
Enjoy! ...and remember the difference between a guitarist and everyone else is the guitarist didn't give up when he/she got frustrated.
Cause you will, but its all part of the learning experience
