cheap acoustic guitars for sale ebay image
More In Ja
I'm thinking of buying a guitar so I can learn how to play. I was checking on ebay and saw a "twist" guitar for sale. It's cheaper than an acoustic guitar. I was wondering how the two differ from each other. Thanks!
Answer
Never heard about any twist guitar (brand or type). There are some basses build with a twisted neck, but these are very specialized and probably very expensive instruments.
Most beginners will be best off with a regular steel string acoustic in most cases. Just make sure it is properly set up with light strings. This is very, very important. Any guitar which has not been adjusted is potentially very hard to play on - not very fun or motivational at all... You can read more about this issue below if you feel like it.
As for brands, Ibanez, Yamaha and Jasmine (by Takamine) all offer good quality for your money. Same goes for Epiphone (owned by Gibson). However, these tend to have necks which are rather bulky and not very beginner friendly in general.
If you can, it is definitely best to get a guitar with a solid (all wood) top. This is where most of the sound is coming from in an acoustic guitar.
Oh, and forget a nylon string acoustic unless you plan on playing classical, flamenco and these types of finger picking styles. Even though these guitars have softer strings, they are hard to play because of the neck width, neck scale (length of vibrating string and distance between frets) and action (string height).
The steel string acoustic is more versatile by far :-)

Answer
I've played the guitar for years, and I think your best bet is either your local craigslist.org, or any local classified listings online. Alternatively, I have noticed some very good prices on EBay and Amazon, but often the shipping costs are very high. There has been the occasional good deal on EBay with free or low shipping, though, so depending on your patience level, it could be worth a look. Guitar Center is national, so maybe they have reasonable shipping - they have periodical blow-out sales. Good luck!
