ESP Beginner Guitars...
A Winner For the Beginner Guitarist

ESP KH-2 Kirk Hammett Ouija Signature Series Electric Guitar

ESP beginner guitars are a winning choice for the beginning guitarist. Having produced custom models for many of the top artists since the mid 1980s and also having over 40 different artist signature models, ESP has definitely proven itself to be one of the top guitar manufacturers in the business.

With artists such as James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, George Lynch, Ron Wood, Dave Mustaine and Alexi Laiho as well as many others not only endorsing ESP guitars, but also having their own signature lines, you know you're in good company when you play an ESP guitar.

The guitars I'm listing on this page can be bought for around $300 or less, which I consider to be a sensible price range for a first guitar. Even though I'm considering ESP guitars in this price range to be ESP beginner guitars they are not low quality instruments by any means.

Try one out and you'll definitely see what I mean.
