Neck Back Body
It does not really concern the price range you have in mind. Years back a guitar at low cost would be a nightmare to play, and for a beginner was worse, I had one for my first guitar. These days with advanced machining technology and mass production is a large number of manufacturers Turning out of guitars guitars pretty good low cost.
Whatever the price if you take two guitars to the make and model, even with numbers consecutive production, it is likely that it will be easier to play than the other.
How well a guitar plays is determined by the action action.The on a guitar is the distance between the underside of the strings and frets. The frets are metal strips that are thin in the neck. The maximum distance is in the area where the neck and body join. If the distance is greater than 3mm can say it will be harder to play the guitar neck up to it and should be for a beginner it can quite discouraging. Keep in mind that this small difference can mean many things.
A gap of 4 mm is a big step up from 3 mm.
There are four things that affect the action.
1. The Saddle Height
2. The Nut Height
3. The Truss Rod Adjustment
4. The Neck Angle
The first three can be adjusted. If the neck angle is bad and then adjusting the other three will little change in the action. Imagine a guitar flat on his back level and you place a straight line along the neck and extending to the touch deck. The bridge is the piece of wood attached to the body of the guitar that has strings attached, and the saddle is (usually) white plastic strip that is in the bridge and the strings running through it. When the angle of the neck is good then the neck and the top of the bridge will be on the same line. When the angle is bad, then the straight point to a location closer to where the bridge connects the body and is a really bad case that would touch the body of the first guitar.
Now we can not perform the test in a music store, however we can do is sight in the neck and it is fairly easy to see where the line Neck point, he should be in line with the upper deck.
All this is doubtless much to absorb at once, the important thing is to be aware of the action and seller of guitar well should know that and be able to tell you so you can make the best choice if you a guitar that is easy to play.
Finally do not buy a guitar because you like the color of it, buy the guitar that sounds good and plays well.
Good Luck
