i bought a like-new acoustic guitar for $7 at a pawn shop. all you have to do is buy one from there and maybe shine it up and it will be decent to play.
Pick up a nice Yamaha C50 or C110, nylon string acoustic. The nylon strings will allow you to play longer and the Yamaha is a nice consistent guitar that should get you through the first couple of years. Takamine and other companies have similar models but I use the Yamaha in my classroom and it has always done well for me. That’s the only reason I mentioned it by the way. I don’t get a commision or anything.
You don’t sound very excited about it. Buy a very cheap one and then if you like it buy a Taylor or Martin.
You need a guitar that sounds okay and plays easily. Go to a large music shope–a guitar center is okay–with a friend who knows a bit about guitars and choose the lest expensive one that will do.
Don’t look for perfection–it costs more than you are ready to pay. If you progress to the intermediate level, you’ll wnat a new guitar no mater what you start with.
If you can’t find anything within your price range at the store, order a Rogue from MusiciansFriend.com.
You don’t exactly sound thrilled, I think what you should do is go to a place like the guitar center, when you go in there you’ll see all kinds of people sitting around playing, some play well others are just feeling out guitars and some are just learning and trying to find a guitar that suits them. They even have little rooms where you can have privacy if you want. Go there a couple of times and see if it’s for you, you should be able to tell if your going to find this your thing, I’m assuming your a girl, I’ve taught girls to play guitar, most of them do not continue, they don’t want to cut their nails, and they find it hurts their fingers and hand, their not willing to give it time, the finger and hand pain goes away with time, but most of them do not have it in them to play music, so I tell them not to waste their parents money. If it’s in you to play you’ll know it, because no matter what you have to put up with to play you’ll do it, because playing is the most important thing, not having long nails. So go to one of these places and play around a couple of times and see if you think it’s for you.
