I was looking at the acoustic starter/value packs, Costco has the Yamaha kit which includes guitar, case, extra stings, picks, electric tuner, strap and instructional DVD for $199. They have a Fender kit sells for $275 at the local music store and includes all the same but its Fender. I know they're both not top quality but still good enough for a beginner. The Fender is the DG-8S if that makes a difference.Is it worth the extra to go Fender or does it really make a difference at that level? Thank you
I asked this earlier but in the wrong section. I am absolutely sure I want to learn the guitar, not to be a rock star, just for me. Do you think 30 is too old to start?
 
Between fender and yamaha I would say go with the one you feel more comfortable using. I would have to see it but sometimes the cheaper models are easier to use for a beginner. 30 is definitely NOT TOO OLD to start! It's never too old- and it's well worth learning... it's a wonderful thing to learn and a beautiful thing to listen to. btw- you're a beginner so start with nylon string. They're much easier to press.
 
If you're a beginner then go the yamaha, you don't need anything flash and it has everything you need. I've been learning guitar now for about 7-8 years and I still don't have anything special, its about how you play really, you can make any guitar sound good if you play it right.
 
First of all, you are Never too old to learn to play guitar. It will ultimately sharpen your mind and give you a nice hobby. And in regards to your question about yamaha, I say go for it. When I first started playing I bought the fender starting kit you mentioned, and I STILL play that guitar... even after buying 3 others. For a beginner, I would just go for the cheapest. Both sets would have about the same quality, because of their aforementioned value.
