I wasn't planning that, because I'd feel like an idiot + I had no idea there was a difference in the thickness of the neck. I thought that was the same.
My budget... Well I don't know how far my parents want to go, but I'm planning on paying a part if I find one that's a bit over their limit. I'd say max € 200 then.
Hey no problem man!
Don't worry about feeling like an idiot, everyone has to start somewhere and everyone recognizes somebody picking up an instrument for the first time as a cool thing, not something to be made fun of.
You should be able to get a decent enough acoustic in that price range also. Just go in and have a peek around, if it makes you feel better, go to the store in the middle of a work day or something when its not busy. I know when my friend and I go in to try guitars out we usually go in the middle of a weekday (when we don't have class), and the place is usually a ghost town. Not that we're self-conscious about our playing or anything, but we just prefer trying out guitars when there's no one around shredding scales and showing off like an idiot
