Recommendations: for wallet-friendly, decent sounding guitar

[strumthatgstring]

Hey fellow practising guitarists!

It's my very first time posting on any forums at all, so do pardon me if I make any rookie mistakes. It has been my wish to be able to play the guitar and learn so from scratch, though I've only decided to do so now because I feel that time permits me.

So with that, I would like to get a guitar that is both friendly to my wallet (I'm quite broke so money is a huge concern) yet sounds decently good. After researching on youtube and blogs for reviews, I have narrowed down to these 2 choices: Yamaha F310 and Cort Earth OP.

May I seek your opinions on which one would be the better choice? And if you feel that there's an even better option besides the 2 mentioned, I would love to hear your recommendations!

(PS: I'm an absolute guitar noob, meaning I have little to even zero knowledge about playing or the general features of an acoustic guitar etc. So any help would be greatly appreciated!)

Hi! What do you mean by wallet-friendly?
Personally I own a Cort L100C and a Yamaha 310 TBS (among several others that i own/used to. BTW, I'm looking to let them go). So I guess one thing you can consider is the price range since that seems to be your biggest concern(?) If you're starting out, then my personal opinion would be to buy a decent guitar that will last, but I wouldn't spend too much as of now (there are many opinions and threads about this). With that said, I think your two options are pretty decent, with the Yamaha bearing a lower cost on your wallet (assuming retail price). So if cost is your only concern, IMO the Yamaha is a good guitar to start with, especially because the setup and strings on mine make it feel really nice to play haha
