buy acoustic guitar strings 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.

Top Brands for Acoustic Guitars with 12 strings?
Ale
I want to buy an acoustic guitar with 12 strings and I want to know what is a good brand... is Ibanez a good brand?
Answer
There are two brands that produce the consistently best 12-strings: Taylor and Breedlove. All of Taylor's 12's are good but the LKSM (Leo Kottke Signature Model) is probably the biggest seller. It's a wonderful instrument, a real earth-shaker. Mandolin Brothers has a Breeedlove SJ25-12 that's to die for. Also, Taylor's high-end line, called R. Taylor, has a 12 string that I have not tried but I'm sure it's a winner like the rest of their guitars.
The other ones mentioned by other responders (Guild, Takamine, etc.) are acceptable but not nearly in the same class as the ones I'm recommending.
