What Is the Beginner Acoustic Guitar?

We can call any guitar a beginner acoustic since the Guitar Instrument is practiced or played by a beginner.

However, we should be more rigorous since we want to help beginners to select right acoustic guitar in line with their economic conditions. Most importantly, make sure the beginners can make a right choice of the acoustic guitar.

All types of laminated acoustic guitar are considered as guitars for beginners. But we don’t recommend to make that kind of choice.

Therefore, from consideration of economic situation, sound performance of acoustic guitar, playability of guitar instrument, risks of abandon learning, etc., solid top acoustic guitar is the best choice for beginners.

But, before you jump into the store to buy a Solid Top Guitar, there are many still remain to be discussed.

Don’t be so hurry.

How Much an Acoustic Guitar Should be for Beginners?

Financially, a solid top acoustic guitar whose price doesn’t exceed $500.00 should be in consideration.

Based on our experience, the price of an acoustic guitar surely reflects the quality of the guitar. So, if you can afford, choose the expensive one. However, as we can see, many acoustic guitar beginners like to lose interest in the learning and practicing in a very short time.

Thus, financially, a guitar costs more than $500.00 may bring tension of personal economic situation.

Quality & Playability

At the same time, we need to consider about quality. There are also a lot need to be considered when referring to quality.

Of course, the acoustic guitar should be with solid top, no matter if it is made of spruce or cedar, since the top influences the sound mostly. Besides, when talking about quality, we have to talk about playability. Most of time, this refers to comfortability and sound of the acoustic guitar.

To comfortably play an acoustic guitar, the beginner has to make sure he or she choose a right sized guitar. Normally, there is 40 inch and 41 inch acoustic guitar for adults. If it is a child who aged below 10 years old playing the guitar, we recommend to choose small sized guitar, 36 inch or 38 inch which can make he or she hold the guitar correctly and easily.

Another aspect is the profile like the height between strings and fretboard, tension of steel strings, etc. If the strings height is incorrectly set, problems like string buzz may occur. If the tension of the strings is too high, well, the beginner really feels uncomfortable with their fingers.

And there are many other details need to be inspected.

Then, how to make a right choice?

The best way is to go to a guitar store to play it with your own hands, or, let a professional, your teacher, your friend who is quite good at playing the guitar, to try and recommend.
