How To Choose The Right Acoustic Guitar
For the beginner musician there are several ways to go, instrument wise. Although the piano is fairly popular, the obvious choice is an acoustic guitar. It’s a staple for any songwriter and it is incredibly dynamic, allowing you to play anything from soft ballads to upbeat funk. Plus, it’s quite mobile, unlike the piano, and allows you to practice anywhere you’d like.
If you want to try out some acoustics just head down to your local music shop. They’re bound to have a decent assortment. The quality and prices do very a decent amount though. While it is possible to get an acoustic for dirt cheap, chances are it will be difficult to play. This will certainly hamper anyone who is struggling to get the basics down.
There aren’t just differences in price and quality, but there are also several types of acoustics to choose from. The standard choice is usually the dreadnought acoustic guitar. Although models like the twelve string and classical guitars are popular, they are specific to certain genres. The dreadnought is more versatile.
If you are really worried about spending too much money then your best option is the Alvarez acoustic guitar. With guitars in the $100-200 range, they offer affordability without leaving you with an unplayable instrument.
Another affordable dreadnought is the Takamine acoustic guitar. They are a bit more popular than the Alvarez and are generally carried in more stores. These instruments are more in the $200-300 range, but are certain to last you a while.
If you’ve dedicated yourself to playing guitar for years, you should consider a higher end acoustic such as a Martin. These generally start around $500, but will last forever and offer professional quality. Each guitar is handmade in the US and with such careful preparation the instrument is a breeze to learn on. Any first-timer will be strumming a tune in no time.
Another high end brand to consider are Taylor guitars. These offer similar quality and price to the Martins. One specific model that works great for beginners is the ‘Baby Taylor.’ This guitar is 3/4 sized but is just as easy to play as a normal acoustic. With its size, it’s perfect to take with you wherever you go.
So, if you’ve decided that acoustic guitars are what you want to learn music on, then consider a dreadnought. Companies such as Alvarez, Takamine, Martin and Taylor offer reasonably priced, quality acoustics. With all these choices, there is bound to be one that fits your needs.
