Good beginner acoustic guitar?
I’m looking to find an affordable acoustic guitar that has a decent sound. (This is what I found on craigs list in my price range.)
Fender Concord, Fender DG-6, Takamine Jasmine, The Applause AE128 (acoustic-electric), Johnson JG-620, OE-60 Ocsar Schmidt, Eleca DAG-5-TP, and the Alvarez RD-8.
Which of these would be the best pick?
I would be playing it just as a hobby, nothing big. It would be great to get some suggestions; as I am new to this instrument. I’ve been playing the viola all my life but I’m looking for something a little more solo.
Also, if anyone knows which characteristics I should be looking for the most and which questions to ask people please let me know.
I’m not familiar with the guitars you listed, but I did want to tell you that in my experience, Ibanez makes the absolute best beginner guitars. They have a lot of models that are under $400.
If you aren’t going to be performing a whole lot, I’ve found that non-electric acoustics are usually a better value. Dreadnought wood has been good to me…you want something relatively flexible and durable. I’d advise against anything that feels too light, though some people love those kinda guitars. Besides that, go with what sounds good to you, trust your intuitions.
I’ve had the AW30NT ARTWOOD SERIES for four years now, and it has been good to me.
I wouldn’t recommend a nylon-strings for a casual player.
And I agree with Paul, it is generally worth it to pay a little extra and get a new guitar. There are a lot of things that can go wrong with acoustics, and the cheap ones aren’t built to last forever.
Good luck!
