Acoustic Beginner Guitar - Which One?

By: Allison Thompson
 

When you are looking for an acoustic beginner guitar there are certain things which you need to take into consideration.

Certainly, if you have he money then you should invest in as good a quality first guitar as you possibly can. The more you actually spend on the guitar then the better the quality of the tone that comes from it and it will be easier to play.

Of the all the high-end acoustic guitars now available one of the best you can invest in is the Seagull S6, which will cost you between $400 and $500. Yet although it is more expensive than a beginner will normally want to pay for their first guitar, it really is one of the most exceptional guitars in this price range. A large number of professional guitarists will often keep their Seagull S6 as well as any other ones that they have. Yet if you cannot get this one another good, acoustic beginner guitar is the Washburn D10s and was voted number 1 by Acoustic Guitar Magazine for those available to buy for less than $500. In fact, most people who want an acoustic guitar in this particular price range will go for either the Seagull or Washburn.

However if you do not have the funds to be able to afford the above mentioned then the Yamaha F310, Takamine G-240 or the Fender DG7 are perfect choices as well. But for those who are looking for the least expensive acoustic beginner guitar then the Epiphone DR-100 is the ideal instrument for them. This particular one costs between $120 and $150 and once a person feels more confident with their playing they can then spend more and trade up to a more expensive model in the future.

What one should never do when purchasing an acoustic beginners guitar is buy one that costs $100 or less. The major problem with these kinds of guitars is not only are the poorly made but they can be extremely difficult to play especially if you are only just starting to learn. The reason for this is that the fingerboard and strings are often widely spaced so getting the right position to play them becomes much more difficult.

But if you cannot afford to spend more than $100 on your guitar, rather than buying one of the above instead purchasing a second hand one instead. Go to a guitar store and check out what second hand ones they have available and try them out. As you will soon discover each one has a slightly different personality and this is often because it has been based on the guitarist who was previously using it.

Also when buying a guitar you need to take into consideration the kind of person who has used it previously. Preferably, buy one that has been well cared for as they will not only look nice but will sound much nicer too. Also trying out each guitar that you are considering buying will give you a chance to work out if it feels comfortable. If it does not even though the sound quality is good, you should never buy it.

The final thing that you should do when buying a used acoustic beginner guitar is get the sales person to play it for you. These people will be able to show you just how good the sound quality and how well it will sound when you are able to play it for yourself. You never know the assistant that has helped you may in the future be able to say to others I was the person that helped them to choose their first guitar, after you have become a great guitar player.
