gibson acoustic guitars for beginners image
Captain
What are some good acoustic guitars for beginners that are under or at least $200?
Like: Fenders, Yamaha, Epiphone, Gibson, ect.
Answer
Yamaha make good entrance level guitars as do Ibanez. Not a big fan of fender acoustics. Another one is Takamine, those are ok also. But I'd choose a yamaha. Best thing to do is go to guitar center or your local guitar/music shop and play some guitars to see what is comfortable and what they sound like. All guitars feel and sound different so that's why it's best to play them before you buy. If you don't know how to play anything ask the salesperson to play a few chords for you, dont be shy either, thats what they're there for. I wouldn't buy a gibson maestro at all so scratch that brand off your list unless you are spending $1000 for one.

So I want to learn to play acoustic guitar, and then one day learn to play an electric guitar. How much would the average acoustic guitar cost? Can you please also add some links for good acoustic guitars for beginners? :)
Answer
Do not buy any guitars sold at big box stores. The price may be attractive, but these are just toys that look like guitars. Don't be fooled by the guitars target sells that have the Gibson name on them. The maestro series is total junk and I don't know how Gibson ever licensed their name to this worthless junk.
Musician's Friend and Guitar Center sell the Epiphone DR-100 for between $99 and $129. This is the only guitar in that low of a price range that I would recommend. They are perfect for beginners and will make a great couch guitar when you advance and want something better.

To get a better guitar you're looking at $299 and up, but don't need to have huge price tags.
Taylor is probably the best acoustic you can buy without having it custom made, but not everyone has $3000 to blow on a guitar. My favorite 6 string acoustic ever can be had for $399. While it is designed to be a jazz/swing guitar, I find it rocks for all genres.

Takemine and Ibanez have some decent student guitars at lower prices. you might want to look at those as well. Just search those names on musician's friend for more info.
