Which guitar to buy for beginner?

Hi, I’ve been playing the piano for years, and decided to take up the guitar. Just in case I don’t stick with playing the guitar, I’m only buying a used one. Which one should i buy?

Washburn Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar – $120
Epiphone Model DR200 Acoustic 6 sting – $125
Harmonia Acoustic Guitar – $150
Yamaha F310P Acoustic Guitar – $100

thanks
by the way, I’m 14

    Get the epiphone, that is what i would get, they are very good. I dont know about Harmonia but Yamahas are pretty cheasp and i heard washburns are too.

    i would go with the second one. epiphone makes great beginners and advanced guitars.
    other guitars i would recommend:
    http://www.guitarcenter.com/Epiphone-PR-150-Acoustic-Guitar-102321213-i1172560.gc i have had this for almost four or five years. still looks and sounds great.
    list of guitars: (be sure to read the reviews) http://www.guitarcenter.com/6-String-Acoustic-Acoustic-Guitar.gc?o=1
    make sure you don’t get a 3/4 or any smaller if your 12 or up.
    also, since its your first guitar, i wouldn’t spend too much money on it, esspecially since you don’t know if your going to continue.

    I’d probably go with the Epiphone, too. I’ve read the reviews on that guitar, and it seems to be one of the best, low end guitars on the market.
    One of the DR200 models is an acoustic-electric with a single cutaway and the regular acoustic has no cutaway. Either way probably the best guitar of your choices

    the best one that is there is the epiphone. i just did some research on all of them and the epiphone is the ONLY SOLID TOP. this is very important when it comes to a guitar. the sound will only get better as it ages and you play it. however, washburns and yamahas make great entry level guitars but i the yamaha that you listed is actually one that comes in a value package. the washburn you listed did not have a model number so i couldn’t find any information on it. but if it’s a SOLID wood top as well. then choose between the washburn and the epiphone. i’ve never heard of harmonia so i doubt they make good entry level guitars. so stick with the epiphone unless the washburn is a solid top as well. then choose which one looks and sounds better to you and which one you think will make you want to play it everyday!
