JAMES asking an Employee for advice on which guitar to buy

James

Excuse me,I am looking for my first guitar. Which one would you recommend for me?

Employee

First of all,I would recommend for you an acoustic guitar. Is there any special brand you thought about?

JAMES

(nods)

No, I haven't.

That's what i thought.Well Fender is the most common one, and it's really good.

JAMES

How much would it be with an amp?

EMPLOYEE

around one hundred and fifty dollars plus tax

JAMES

Dam, i only have one hundred and thirty dollars.This is all my savings.I guess I am not going to buy it.
