What type of acoustic guitar should I get?

best acoustic guitar jumbo image

Majno L

I will get an acoustic guitar for xmas. I am really new to this so I do not really know the differences.

nylon/steel/bronze strings?

jumbo/drednought/western?

Which one should I choose as a beginner? Could you also suggest brands?

Thanks in forward

Answer
A nylon string guitar is called a classical guitar. It is used almost exclusively for playing classical music. Unless you're interested in playing classical music, don't buy one. I think you'd be better off buying a regular steel-string acoustic guitar.

Jumbos and dreads are large guitars that many people, especially women, find too large to play comfortably. I always recommend that people start with a grand concert or auditorium (also called 00 and 000, respectively) size guitar.

There are many fine brands for beginners including Seagull, Yamaha, Epiphone, and Ibanez. Go to a store in your area and have the salesperson play them for you until you find one you like. Try holding it so you can be sure it fits you comfortably.

What kind of acoustic guitar would you recommend for a girl?

I was wanting to purchase an acoustic guitar, but I am not sure on what brand and I am looking for a cheap price since it is my first one. Also I don't want one that is for a child..
Thanks!

Answer
well it depends what you think is cheap. Here's an example: My sort of cheap is 500$ but I'm at a high level of guitar. But for you it could be 300-400$

This is a good one
