Buying guitar for a beginner, is this equipment appropriate?

Is this guitar equipment ok for a beginner? And what might one pay for the guitar alone, second hand?
My boyfriend has been wanting to learn to play, but keeps having financial stuff come up when he is ready to buy. I found this equipment for sale at what seems to be a decent price, but I don’t really know if it is appropriate for a beginner. I’m hoping to surprise him.

Hi Linda. While that Ibanez guitar has been out of production for a while, it is still a great guitar. Ive found 4 stores here in Michigan selling them, and the price range is 275 on the low side, all the way up to 425 on the high side. The one at 425 was in excellent shape, 275 was pretty dinged and scratched, and there were 2 more going for 350 that looked like they were in decent shape. All these guitars except the one selling for 275 came with a hardshell case.

Ive seen the amp going anywhere from 149 all the way up to 200, and that one was in near perfect shape. Those are nice amps by the way, and it should last him a long time.

And yes… this is very good equipment for a beginner. The necks on these guitars are very easy to play, and it is a very good quality guitar.

As far as silent practice goes… your already giving him one heck of a gift.. so.. this is something that would not run an arm and a leg, and comes loaded with a ton of FX as well. Just click on the link ive provided, and it should help you out some.

How Much Would You PAY? for a used guitar.?

I bought it about 5 years ago, for $150.
It has a large paint scrape on the bottom, that is unnoticeable from the front view.

I say around $65-$75.
