What is the best acoustic guitar for beginners?
There are many criteria for beginners buying a guitar but the main criteria is that you purchase it from a specialist music retailer. This can be online or a real music shop but the seller must be a specialist. Will only stock guitars of a good standard because as musicians themselves they know a good guitar from a bad one. I always take people to a real music shop and know that whatever is offered will be good because I can walk back in with it if it is no good. Any self respecting guitar shop will only offer good instruments. In the UK we have general stores selling guitars that are very cheap and they are basically only good for firewood. The shops have no staff who can help you or know how to set up a guitar. For buying online you should again check that the seller is a specialist guitar retailer and they have a solid returns guarantee.
Should you buy a named brand acoustic guitar.
The big name in guitar would have you believe that they have the best guitars and they certainly do sell great gear. But the Yamaha guitars and fender guitars are usually too good for a beginner. You would not hear or feel the difference between these and a shop own brand make. If I had £150 to spend on a beginners guitar I would spend it on a top of the range copy guitar rather than the real thing. You will get virtually the same instrument for half the price.
Secret tips for selecting a guitar.
My pupils love it when I have time to buy a guitar with them because I can tell a good one from a rogue in seconds. This is why I prefer to see and play beginners guitars before purchase. If you are investing £3500 in a Martin then you can rest assured it will be perfect. If you have a small budget then two guitars that are supposed to be the same will be quite different in playability.
Get Ready to buy your second guitar
If you really persevere with your guitar playing you must plan on buying your second guitar in a year. A year of lessons on the guitar and a year of practice will show you what you like in a guitar. Then you can invest in a guitar to last you a lifetime.
