new kid wants to get a guitar.

[nuttinnoobs]

heyy. i'm going to start learning how to play a acoustic guitar, without any prior musical background. was wondering if i should get a guitar frm peninsula plaza or swee lee or get a second guitar. was looking at the swee lee website which offers a congress guitar for abt 170. my budget is ard 100 to 150. any suggestions? or offers for 2nd hand guitars?

my first guitar was a yamaha f-310 which i highly recommend. it's about a hundred and plays and sounds very very good for its price

awesome. a guitarist-to-be! and welcome to soft!

mine was a yamaha FG-332. pretty neat sound.

look around. try them out. if it feels comfortable, and you like the sound, and its affordable, there's no reason why you shouldn't get it. :mrgreen:

I say go for a cheap fina from davis. Very good quality for its price. Around 120 i think

I personally recommend the Samicks. I own one and it sounds really good, plays well and survives a beating (mine's really beaten up. Its at least 8 years old!). Around $120-$200 at Davis Guitar.

Of course the lower-end Takamines should also be considered, and the Finas. Make sure you play several of them before deciding, because tone is a subjective thing.

vantage

i'd highly recommend a vantage or a fina. but dun be afraid to try everything in the guitar shop. shld get something ur comfortable with
