acoustic guitar for $99 ?

I'm up this late at night and find myself intrigued by "Esteban's" infomercial. $99 for an acoustic ... not a bad price is it ? I could also make 3 payments (infomercial hoop-la)... go for it ?
 
I've been wanting to get an acoustic and this seemed like a good price. Is it? Comes with:

Nylon guitar bag with pocket
Neck strap
Guitar picks
A set of extra strings
(and a video I won't be watching)
 
"Esteban" is a sham made up by some shopping channel, and as far as guitars go, *generally* you get what you pay for. Any new $99 guitar is not going to be a great guitar.

I'll just be playing for myself and learning some songs on it...

Not that I care, but the guy looks legit. He's got CDs for sale on his site too. I just don't want to miss an opportunity to pick up a good value for what I need it for.

Seriously, he is a sham. The "grand master" he supposedly trained under (who is legit) said that Esteban was fake and that he never met him. If you need a guitar, check out musiciansfriend.com or amercianmusical.com
 
Ok, I'll hold off on this guy unless I get responses that say "wow that's a great deal!". Thx.

I don't think that's true, Andres Segovia died like 20 years ago.

Then I read something bunk. I think it was here. Either way, it always seemed shammy to me, and hell, it's on the shopping channel. Why trust that crap when there are good, well known name brand guitars out there?
 
musiciansfriend.com has 5 different acoustic guitars (with recognizable brand names) for $100.

My advice would be to check eBay. There are a ton of cheap guitars, I got an Alvarez solid-top acoustic (in new condition) for $120 and it plays great.
