Buying a Beginner Acoustic Guitar?
Buying a Beginner Acoustic Guitar?
I'm an exchange student in Argentina, and have decided to start guitar lessons. However, there are no rental shops in Argentina so I pretty much have no choice but to buy a guitar. I'm on a budget so I want something cheap, but at the same time I don't want to get a really crappy guitar. Can someone give me some tips on what to look for? Maybe suggest a good brand for me? Also, what price range should I be looking at? Thanks!

If you buy a guitar then house where at other when he so bad.

If you are relatively close to a music store then visit there and let a clerk know your concerns. Some quality inexpensive guitars for the beginner are Alvarez, Ephiphone, Ibanez, Fender, Yamaha, Takamine, and Washburn. The prices range from $200 to $350. If a music store is not nearby then log on to musiciansfriend.org and browse through their acoustic guitars. Bear in mind, when you buy a guitar sight-unseen and played you're at the mercy of what is shipped to you. Most likely, it will need to be properly set up, but with no music store near you will have to suffer through it. Avoid buying beginner guitars at large chains such as Walmart and Target. Those guitars serve best as wall decoration or canoe paddles.
