buy acoustic guitar neck image
andre_akun
This would be my first guitar and i don't have any kind of musical training. Should i buy an acoustic guitar with nylon strings or one with the metal strings? I don't have a specific kind a music i want to play, i just want something that can play the the popular tunes out there
Answer
for most of the popular tunes you'll want a steel string guitar.
while the steel string may be slightly tougher on your fingers, if you start with proper technique...namely placing you thumb on the center of the back of the neck...your fingers won't have to supply so much pressure, your thumb does it for you. remember that while the neck may somewhat resemble a baseball bat, you don't hold it like one. your palm never really touches the neck. (i learned with bad technique. it's harder to overcome than learning right in the first place.)
plus, generally, the fingerboard is narrower on steel string guitars so your fingers won't have as far to reach. and the neck is often slimmer.
and, i believe, in the long run you'll be much happier.

What electric acoustic guitar should I buy?
OctoNightK
I'm looking to buy an electric acoustic guitar. I'm an intermediate player so I want something that isn't cheaply made but it doesn't have to be pro material either. I'm looking to spend no more than $700. Any suggestions or at least a band I should look at?
Answer
No one can ever tell you which guitar you should buy because everyone has their own likings. Go try a whole bunch out until you find one you like. The thing i look for the most is neck comfort. If its not narrow or thin or thick enough to your liking don't get it because it'll make you hate playing it.
