Where can I buy a cheap acoustic guitar?




Cher Z


I'm looking for a starter guitar, I tried Target but all they had was the First Act and all the reviews were terrible. Any idea of where to find a decent cheap one? Since it's a starter one, I don't want to spend a lot of money. Thanks!


Answer
Amazon (they sell everything, and are connected with some smaller music stores), and major music retailers like Sam Ash, Sweetwater (these first three are my preference, mostly based on customer service). Amazon is probably the best place to start since all the major specialty retailers sell their products there as well.

Other common retailers include Musicians Friend / Guitar Center / ZZzsounds, American Music Supply.

Local or web, specialty or non-specialty retailer - it doesn't matter anymore. Focus on the specs of the instrument and the brand - and note ones which are common (like Martin, Fender, Epiphone, Takamine, and others). The common ones are slightly more reputable, but these days they are all made in similar factories in South East Asia. No matter where you buy, it will come in a box from south east Asia, that your retailer has simply slapped a price tag or shipping label on.

Locally, your best bet might be Guitar center. You may have a local music shoppe, but the tastes of the owner, a lack of selection, and the prices may lead you to buy online or from a major retailer instead.

And do try to get a full-size instrument. Most of the reduced size instruments or student's / children's guitars have appalling quality, and you would be better off in spending the extra 20-30 dollars to get a real, full size instrument.

im getting a guitar so im looking to see in what store they will sell a cheap acoustic one.?


Answer
Guitar Center or Sam Ash will have a good selection of inexpensive but decent-sounding and decent-playing guitars.

DO NOT buy a guitar from Best Buy, or Walmart, or K-Mart. Whatever you get from any of those big-box retailers will be guitar-shaped objects not much better than toys, that will not play well, stay in tune, or sound good. Don't waste your money!
