When you are looking to get an acoustic beginner guitar, there are a few things you want to look at. For instance, it may actually be worth spending the money on a high quality guitar even though this might be hard to justify as a beginner. The ease with which the guitar plays and the sound it makes really is related to the quality and price.

Buying a quality guitar is a wise investment for the beginner if they plan to stay the course and master playing the guitar. One guitar will last you through from novice to erstwhile guitar hero. Two of the best acoustic beginner guitars you can invest in is the Seagull S6 and Washburn D10S. Both hit the market under the $500 mark. Indeed, making this kind of investment might even motivate you to take your guitar lessons more seriously if you struggle to get motivated in the initial stages. Definitely pricier than what a beginner might want to spend, but the exceptional quality well justifies the price. Even professional guitar players whove played and owned huge collections of guitars cherish the Seagull S6. Another high-end acoustic beginner guitar to consider is the Washburn D10S. In the under $500 range, the Washburn D10S has received the top vote in Acoustic Guitar magazine.

The Yamaha F310, Takamine G-240 and Fender DG7 are all good choices for the beginner. But in terms of price, the most affordable for the beginner is the Epiphone DR-100. However once you get more experience you will want be keen to trade up, but it’s a great acoustic beginner guitar at $120-$150.

So with a discussion of some prices out of the way, here’s some advice. Don’t waste your money on those cheap guitars you can find for under $100 at the local discount store. Even an experienced player would have trouble with these. They’re poorly made and often have an overly high action, as there tends to be too much space between the strings and the fingerboard. A cheap guitar is frustrating and not fun to play, so buy a good quality acoustic beginner guitar.

If you were planning on spending around $100 or less, a second hand acoustic beginner guitar is a good option. One of the benefits would be the guitar having some character. Take for example, two second hand Yamaha F310′s. Try them both out as they will likely have distinctly different sounds. These sounds may even give you some insight on the personality of who owned the guitar before.

You should always avoid buying a guitar from someone who doesnt know beans about caring for one. A guitar has to be handled like a lover (or at least a friend!). When it hasnt been properly treated, its just never going to make great music. If an acoustic beginner guitar youre trying feels a bit off for any reason, go on to the next one.

If you can’t play a guitar and are looking at a guitar in a store then ask the salesperson to demonstrate and play the acoustic beginner guitar you are thinking about buying. Most salespeople in these shops have some experience or at least will know of someone who can let you hear how it sounds. They might just be helping the next big guitar play purchase their first guitar.
