I agree that you must have a playable instrument that will stay in tune.
Anything less than that makes learning very difficult.
The old Fender Squiers that were made in Japan from '83-'87 are wonderful
instruments. They can be had for $300 or so. They made both Stratocasters
and Telecasters. But the Teles seem less plentiful these days.
Anyhoo... I suspect that there are many, many folks with more suggestions to
offer.
