hi,

i have justed started playing in the last year on a guitar that was given to me.  I now want  to buy an acoustic 6 string.  I would like to stay under $500.00.  Should i be looking at getting a used guitar? My thought is that i could get a better guitar for less money.... or am i safer to purchase new?  Also, i have a read a few online buying guides but  i would like some advice on particular brands/models that are the best buy.  I don't know if there is such a thing as a guitar that's easier to play but that's what i want!   i have played a friends very expensive (way out of my budget) and i couldn't believe how much easier it was to play than the one i have been using.  I have learning on my own and online and this is just for fun but i would still like to get the best sound for my low budget. 

Any advice would be appreciated. 

thanks,
