me
i want to get an acoustic guitar to so i can learn how to play. alot of people have been telling me that i should start off with a really cheap guitar and then once i get better and actually want to keep playing invest in a better guitar. any advice? anyone have any ideas of brands/types of guitars i should look into?
Answer
The acoustic guitars (either nylon strings or steel strings) are the recommended instrument for beginner guitar players to learn how to play.
The electric guitar is most often use to play chords exclusively and first-time players that start with an electric guitar seldom progress into learning the guitar musical staff or develope skills to play the melody line.
Most all good electric guitar players can do well when playing an acoustic guitar because they started to learn with that instrument.
As to price-be aware that regardless of labels most guitars in the "cheap" price range of Under
$200. are made overseas.
I learned from my son who travels often to China for his company manufacturing business that "brands" mean very little in the lower price range since the
same machinery made exactly the same instrument
with the only difference being the "label".
With that in mind your choice could be determined by the seller return warranty if you buy via internet and the "sound" of the guitars you have a chance to play at the local store. "Playability" and "sound" should be your criteria.Choose Sound over Looks
I have bought guitars via internet with good
results and excellent service.
In the "cheap" price range of Under $200.
I could recommend two web stores:
Rondo Music (www.rondomusic.com) and
West Music Co. (www.westmusic.com)
What Type: As a beginner I recommend a nylon string guitar (also called "classical guitar").
You can play any kind of music other guitars play.
Only difference is the sound is "mellower" than a steel-string instrument and less volume than an electric one.

acoustic guitar.....?
Sydney S
ok so which guitar is better the fender or the acoustic???
Answer
Okayy
ima explain this for you since nobody else will
soo first off, a fender isnt a type of guitar
theres Electric, Acoustic, and electric-acoustic
Fender, Gibson, Epiphone, Etc. are all brand names
In other words, They are the manafacturers
Soo, if your question is what is better, electric or acoustic, then the answer is :
Electric guitar and acoustic guitars arent really better than each other because the better guitar for you depends on your style. If you like natural sounds with clean strums and you want to take that guitar t ogo, then choose acoustic.
If you are planning on playing metal (my favorite xD), rock, etc, then choose an electric guitar. Pretty much all electric guitars are the same because their sound depends highly on the type of amplifier you choose. I prefer electric guitar because its also alot louder.
Electric- Acoustics are sort of like a hybrid because you can take them anywhere without an amplifier and still get that beautiful natural acoustic sound that would normally come from a standard acoustic guitar. When your at home and you feel like playing some rock or metal or etc., then you can just plug into your amp and shred.
If your question is "What is the best brand/manifacturer acoustic or electric guitar?" then heres your answer:
There are 3rd party (cheap) guitars who make remedy guitars off of the top-of-the-line makers, Mid class guitar makers or divisions of the high end brands, and the high end (best) brand names. Third party makers such as johnson, brownsville, and vineyard are low quality brands but they are very inexpensive. Then, there are Branches or divisions off of the high end brands. These include Epiphone, Squire, etc. These brands are a part of the high end companies such as fender and gibson, They are pretty good quality guitars and they are mid priced. Then come the high end guitar brands such as Fender and Gibson and Dean and Jackson. These are the highest quality guitars but they may come with such a huge price tag, you can buy 2 used cars with. Fenders can range from poor quality $80-$200 to high quality $1200-$4600. They are over-rated in a way. You would be better off buying an epiphone or squire guitar because they have almost the same quality but come at much, much lower prices. Jackson guitars are my favorite because they have amazing quality and are mid-priced like epiphones.
This applies to both acoustic and electric guitars.
Sooo take this info and share it
My names John V, im 14, and i hope to become a famous guitarist one day. Everyone deserves a chance to play the guitar sooo pass this on. xD
