Make sure the guitar you will buy, must have truss rod in fretboard....so you can adjust its action if any bend comes in the fretboard. Try to buy from a store than online because at store, you can check different models from different brands and choose wisely. If you know someone who can play guitar (even basic chords or scales), then go along with that person.
