What is a good acoustic guitar for a self taught intermediate player?




tori2


I'm looking to get a new guitar because, well mine sucks, but I don't really know much about them. I don't really wanna spend over $500. I am all self taught and by no means a great guitarist, just happily proficient. I play at my church, so chords are the only thing really necessary.
Any suggestions would be super helpful:)
Thanks so much!



Answer
Go to your local music store. There are many options available to you there. The Ibanez line has many great models for under $500 new. Many female players like Ibanez because they are known for their slim fast neck, which is a plus for those with smaller hands. Epiphone and Yamaha also have excellent guitars in your price range.

You may wish to consider purchasing a used guitar. For your budget, you could get a much better guitar. For your budget, you could possibly get a Gibson, Martin, Washburn or even a lower end Taylor. The best way to find the best guitar for you is just to go to the local music store and play every guitar, new and used, that fits your budget. You will know the right one when you play it.

I'm sorta an intermediate player. I had a fender electric-acoustic but it got stolen and with the insurance money i just bought a full electric (yamaha pacifica) but i miss the sound of acoustic guitars and i'm going camping soon and would like to take an acoustic guitar for around the campfire. so yeah, whats a nice sounding acoustic guitar that doesn't fall to pieces or get out of tune too easily for 200 dollars or less?


Answer
go to a music store and just try them out. all guitars need to be checked out first regardless of brand. look for something with as much solid wood as possible, check the frets for buzzes everywhere. Then play all the strings individually at the 12th fret harmonic (if you don't know how, look it up on youtube, its not hard) then compare that to pressing down the 12th fret and playing. if they are out of tune with each other, move on cause the guitar will never tune right. Putting in the extra effort to shop around and find one you like is worth it.
