I have a cheaper dean acoustic guitar with a couple dead notes in the higher fret area's, the rest sound great but i was curious how to take care of this when i take it in for repair so i don't sound like a knob


Answer
Just tell the luthier that there are dead notes on the guitar, and show them where.

It's likely a fret that's not level somewhere. But, they're the expert (supposedly). It's up to them to figure it out and fix it!

That said, it's possible that your guitar is just acoustically dead at those notes. That has to do with the type of wood and the bracing used under the top. In that case, it would probably be more expensive to fix that than to just get a better guitar. Keep that in mind.

Do cheap acoustic guitars sound worse?

I want to buy a cheap acoustic guitar so I can teach myself how to play, but I'm not sure if there will be a sound difference if I buy a $60 guitar instead of a $200 one. If there is, whats a good brand that will sound good, and be cheap?


Answer
A $200 guitar is still entry level and won't sound as good as a better instrument, although some are much better than others. In that price range you expect a guitar to be solidly built, comfortable to play, and to sound reasonably decent, not great. A $60 one won't even meet minimal standards of functionality, durability, or playability - don't even bother worrying about the sound. It's a complete waste of money.

Expect to spend at least $100 and preferably $150-300 for a guitar good enough to learn to play on. You should only buy from a music store, not from Ebay, Walmart, Best Buy, or similar sources of junk guitars.
