What's the difference between these guitars?

Question

I am looking for an acoustic guitar. I'm new to it, so I don't really know much. I was told to look for good brands like Yamaha, Takamine, or Ibanez. What's the difference? I went to some guitar websites and under each brand of acoustic guitars, there are different model names or series. What's the difference between each model in the guitar?

Answer 1

It depends. The strings may be differant. No matter what, they'll sound differant. So whichever sounds best to you is the best choice for you.

Answer 2

each one has its own sound, because it has different specs.  different wood in the neck, or body. different tuners.  a difference in how the sound is amplified through the body, etc.

not to mention price is a difference as well

Answer 3

The brands you list all make inexpensive guitars (as well as some more expensive ones).  I assume you're looking to get a guitar for $300 or $400.  If that is the case you'll need to go to a local guitar store with a decent acoustic inventory.  They might not have all 3 brands.  You may need to shop around to try all the models and/or brands you're interested in.  

The only way to understand the differences is to play as many of them as you're interested in.  They will feel different- some will have larger or wider bodies than others.  Some may have a cut-away to make it easier to reach the upper frets.  Others may or may not have a pickup- to plug into a PA or amp- good if you plan on playing at open mics and such.  There will not be dramatic differences in woods used and quality of construction at this price point, but you will like one or two (for whatever personal reasons- finish, feel, or so) more than the others.  So take an afternoon and try some out.  Good luck!

Answer 4

The sound you get from them. Spaniards are very very very  good! The balance in the construction, acoustic and quality of the materials.  Then, if you are a beginner, get a cheap one just in case you give up in the third lesson. Once you get you "ear" you will know when you try them. I think is always better to try them first  

My pick between those: Ibanez
