Choose Your Acoustic Guitar: A Review Of The Best Acoustic Guitars For Beginners

There are a few important things you need to consider when buying an acoustic beginner guitar.
You think you have a financial situation that allows you to afford a high quality guitar for your first guitar? If you think you can do it then you should definitely go for it. Very often, the tone of the guitar is being reflected in its cost. With a good beginner guitar it should also be easy to play.
The Seagull S6 is undoubtedly one of the best options on the high-end, and it is going to cost you about $400-$500. Although it can be a bit expensive for some beginners, it is still an exceptional instrument for that price. Many professionals will keep their Seagull S6 long after they have piled up a large collection of other guitars. An equally good acoustic beginner guitar on the higher end of the price scale would be the Washburn D10S. It was voted #1 in Acoustic Guitar magazine for guitars under $500. A good number of people searching in this price range will like either the Seagull or the Washburn.
At a more affordable range, you can find the Yamaha F310, FenderDG7 and Takamine G-240. If you are looking for the least expensive acoustic beginner guitar, the Epiphone DR-100 is a good choice. Despite being a beginner instrument, the Epiphone DR-100 is very good value for your money and remains one of the best acoustic beginner guitars.
You should avoid buying the very cheap guitars you see at the local discount store as they are difficult to play with, even for experience guitar players. Their cheap quality means that there is often a lot of space between the strings and the neck, which entails an overly high action. It can be very annoying for a beginner.
Should you have less than $100 to spend, your best option is to purchase a second-hand guitar. The interesting thing is that second-hand guitars can also have their own personalities. If you see two Takamine G-240 in a shop, just try both of them. You must be able to have a “feel” for your guitar in order to make the right choice.
People often see guitars as human beings. You have to care for your guitar like you care for your own kid. If for whatever reason you don’t “feel” your guitar, pick another one.
The last thing you should consider is that you should always ask the salesperson at the music store to play the guitar you want to buy. A good salesperson will always help you choose the right guitar in the best possible way.

The Best Acoustic Guitar For You

When buying anything, the first thing you ask is how you can find the best one. The same thought process applies to acoustic guitars. The answer is that there is not a “best” acoustic guitar to buy. Choosing the best acoustic guitar depends on the individual player and their needs.
Of course when you think about guitars, some common names come to mind immediately. Gibson, Fender and Ibanez are but a few of the ones that spring up. All have a quality instrument and each has low end models and high end models.
Gibson makes a really good guitar in all types. The materials, craftsmanship and overall quality are always there with Gibson, so based on a brand name only basis, Gibson would be a great choice. The same could be said for Fender and Ibanez as well.
There are other luthiers (builders of guitars) available like Takamine, BC Rich and Dean. Ovation makes a fantastic instrument in both acoustic and acoustic/electric models. Epiphone is a division of Gibson that uses Gibson trademark quality with a lower end price tag.
So with all these options and brands to choose from, what is the best acoustic guitar out there? As I said earlier, the answer to that question depends on the individual player. Like anything else, it is a pairing of souls you are looking for. In essence, you are looking for a musical soul mate.
The first thing you want to consider is comfort. To get this down, go to a music store and play a few acoustic guitars. You will find some with wide necks and some with narrow necks. This depends on the size of the body. Body sizes are typically classified, in order, as travel size (small), dreadnought and jumbo. Try one of each on for size to get a feel for what you need to play.
Playing should be natural and comfortable. If you have smaller hands, perhaps a travel acoustic will suffice and there are some very good ones out there. Most times, the dreadnought is the guitar of choice, though.
The next thing you want to consider is tone quality. This is going to depend on the material the guitar is made from. There are lots of different materials and, yes, this does affect the price. Obviously, a guitar that has an ebony neck is going to cost more than a rosewood neck. I wouldn’t pay a whole lot of attention to the material. Just play it and listen to the sound of the instrument. A good tone will sort of ring to the ear.
One decision you will need to make is whether to use nylon strings or steel strings. Most of the time, nylon or gut strings are used for classical music. Steel strings are more common and provide a richer tone, in my humble opinion. Steel strings come in a variety of gauges from ultra light to heavy. The sound emitted is lightly affected by string gauge, but not dramatically. Other players will dispute this, but I have found this to be true more times than not.
Overall, you want to find an acoustic guitar that is comfortable to handle, has the right neck width and provides a rich, ringing tonal quality. The only real way to do this is to play them yourself. To pick the best guitar for you is entirely up to, well, YOU. You decide what is best for your playing style.
Don’t be pressured by big names and flashy displays. Most importantly, don’t just buy the first acoustic guitar you see. They are all pretty and will catch the eye. Focus instead on how the guitar feels, sounds and responds to you. When you find the one, you’ll know it. That sounds a little mystical and it is kind of mystical. There is a bond between the player and the instrument. It’s almost like looking for a mate.
Price is probably the biggest consideration, so here is what I suggest. Get a figure in your head on what you want to spend. Think economical and spend only what you can afford to spend. Acoustic guitars are available in a wide range of prices from as little as $150 to as much as $10,000. I have seen some $250 acoustics that sound just as good as a $1000 instrument. The idea is that you don’t have to blow your life savings on a first guitar.
