What is the best guitar to purchase for a beginner?

Answer 1

Guitar Center has a very nice Yamaha acoustic guitar -- a quality guitar that will last a lifetime -- in a beginner package with gig bag, extra strings, capo, a tuner, two beginning books and a DVD for under $200. It's a very good starter set.
You can get cheaper starter sets, but the guitars won't sound as nice or last as long.
Fender has a similar set for about the same price, but I found the Yamaha guitar to be better quality -- Fender's "quality" guitars cost quite a bit more.

They have guitars and guitar kits ranging from the very inexpensive to the very expensive. I wouldn't recommend spending a lot of money on a guitar for a beginner because you never know if he/she will stick with it. Here are some brand names that are relatively inexpensive but good quality for the money: Fender, Yamaha, Washburn, Jasmine, Epiphone, Dean.

A cheap on ewill be good. I bought my brother an Ibanez I think. Once you get better you can invest more on it. Also there are a lot of coftware's out there you can get to play your guitar along and it teaches you how to play the right way and not get into bad habits.

Answer 4

my brother got some $100 guitar from WalMart, and he's progressed REALLY well. He's moved on and bought a better one, of course, but the first one he had was good for him to learn on.

Answer 6

A cheap one, used if possible. That way if you give it up, you're not out much. And most people do give it up.
