I have a Walmart giftcard and they have Ernie Ball 2409 Ernesto Palla Nylon Ball End Classical Acoustic Guitar Strings for 4.99. Should I go with those? Thanks.


Answer
Ernie Ball doesn't make bad strings, so you should be fine - IF you have a nylon-stringed acoustical guitar. If it's a steel-stringed acoustic, look further (like maybe a phosphor-bronze set, light acoustic).
(Happy Holidays! ...and to JCR!).

what are the best acoustic guitar for beginners? if you can plz send me examples of the guitars that are good? and does anyone know of a guitar brands brand called peavey?


Answer
As always, it depends on what you want to spend for a beginner setup. An beginner guitar needs to be playable...which usually puts guitars below $200 out of the range. If they are cheaper than that, they usually won't be very easy to play, and that may affect how much enjoyment a beginner gets out of it...and how long they will stay with it.

I like Fender as a good low end acoustic. They usually use good wood, and the designs have been around for a while. Depending on what music you want to play, a cutaway can be a good investment for a beginner. The first link has the acoustic pages from Musician's Friend...that's a site I use frequently.

Epiphone and Yamaha have some decent stuff as well. Remember, you're not going to be getting great sound from a beginning guitar usually. You also want to be aware of size. A dreadnought guitar is fairly big...you want to be concious of who will be playing it. I have a great dreadnought Fender 12 string, but it's huge and almost too big for my hands. My best guitar is a Santa Cruz OM...small parlor guitar with HUGE sound (not a beginner guitar by any means). There are a variety of sizes, so look carefully, and try some out.

Another brand that I have had some experience with is Art & Luthier out of Canada. These are great little guitars, made by the Seagull folks...just a subbrand. I have played one that a friend has, and it's really a great sounding guitar for the money (I think around $200 or maybe a little more).

As for Peavey, they make a low-end set of electric guitars that in general I'd stay away from. Peavey is much more well known for their sound equipment, and that's what they are best at.
