Alright, so you know you want to play acoustic guitar but money is tight. You want a cheap acoustic guitar but it still has to sound good right. Do not fear. Locating a cheap acoustic guitar that will play well is not as difficult as you might think. In this article I aim to point you in the right direction for finding a cheap acoustic guitar.
When searching for a cheap acoustic guitar you will probably want to direct your focus on the bigger name brands like Takamine, Fender and Ibanez. I know your thinking that these are the more expensive models and they are, but these companies also make beginner models that are relatively cheap and still have good production quality. After all they have a reputation to keep and many times these companies hope that if you are satisfied you might become a life time customer. So stick to these top three if you wish to find a cheap acoustic guitar that will still sound great.
Since your going to be buying a cheap acoustic guitar you might as well buy it brand new. Buying a guitar from someone who once used it as their first guitar usually means that the guitar is not in good shape. Most beginners make the mistake of not properly taking care of their instruments. Not because they're lazy, but because they just haven't learned how to yet. My first guitar looks like hell. I know it can be tempting seeing cheap acoustic guitars on eBay for $20 or $30 dollars but believe me you will get what you pay for. Instead go to your local music store or shop online at ZZsounds, or Amazon. I would recommend budgeting between $150 and $300 for your first acoustic guitar.
I hope that this article helps you to choose a great cheap acoustic guitar to learn with. Remember to stick to the top three brands because they will have beginner series models that are cheap and constructed well. Also buy new. Resist the urge to buy a used guitar and I promise you will be much happier with your choice.
