i have never found a good sounding cheap guitar. but i have found good cheap ukelele's. you have to be careful about the bridge that keeps falling off.
i looked for deals and actually bought my dd a real guitar. she used to play with her friends toy guitar - but oh what a different way she had when she was strumming her own real one. she was really 'playing' her guitar but fooling around with her friends.
so i would say spending the money on the real stuff made a huge difference to my dd.
oh and check out freecycles. i found a real children's violin that way. all i did was ask.
