Question: Beginner Guitar Help!!?
I am an absolute beginner, and I want to get an acoustic guitar to learn with!. I've read up on guitars a bit: low action, no buzzing, etc!., but I'm not sure what to buy!. Price is important, as I'm one of those broke college kids :)!. Nothing too expensive, around $200 tops, but if I can get quality for less, that'll be great!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Guitars are completely subjective things!.

I think the best thing to do would be to try them out in as many music stores as possible and see what you like the best, as an individual!.

Does the guitar sound good to your ears!? Is the neck comfortable in your hands, is the weight, balance right for you!? Take your time, you'll know what guitar is best for yourself after testing them out!. If you find the right one and the store is charging you too much, you could always find it online and ask them to cut you a deal!.

Most named brands cater for the inexpensive market and there's a huge choice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have a Takamine!. (that link is to their "budget line", Jasmine) But the Takamine I have is amazing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Epiphone and Wabash are others with a model in your price range!. If you know someone who is into guitars, take them with you to help, and you might get lucky and find a used guitar of good or better sound, a higher resale value (just in case), and good construction!.
Good Luck & Rock On!Www@QuestionHome@Com
