Here some more excellent tips on how to buy a guitar, when investigating a guitar for sale, from Dan Cross:

Have patience - do not decide you HAVE to buy the guitar that day. Don’t let music store salesmen intimidate you.

Maintain control - You are in charge! Don’t let music store salesmen intimidate you.

Research - The web is a great place to find info on guitars. Use it to your advantage!

Get help - if at all possible, recruit a friend who plays guitar to help you choose an instrument. If not, don’t be afraid to ask music store employees multiple questions.

You do not have to be an expert guitarist to get a good deal on a good guitar at a guitar sale. For many guitarists, especially novices, trying out a guitar in a music store can be an intimidating experience. If you’re looking at electric guitar sales and playing an electric guitar, make sure you’re plugged into an amp similar to the one you plan to use. If you’re having a hard time hearing (due to other guitarists in the store, etc.), ask to play the guitar in a separate room, or in a quieter part of the store.

The 3 most widely known and respected guitar makers are Martin, Gibson and Fender guitars. Martin guitars however, are slightly different than Gibson guitars or fender guitars in that they don’t make electric guitars, per say but only acoustic and acoustic-electric models.
