I am a begginer looking for an acoustic guitar. Which one is better?

Answer 1

Either guitar will be fine.  Just don't give up and practice often.

Answer 2

Guitars have different sounds because they are different shapes, sizes, woods, finishes, &c.  You should try playing both guitars and decide which sound you like better.  That way you find a guitar that inspires you to play!

Some things you want to pay attention to:

-neck size (sometimes when I play my dads guitar I get hand cramps because of the size or shape)

-body size (find one you like, based on style or comfort, here's a list *)

-wood (different woods have different sounds. Solid wood is more expensive but better.  Here is a guide for wood**)

-the neck (sometimes the neck might be warped and that can cause problems. My boyfriends guitar had a warped neck and what should have been 2 different notes on two different frets was the same note.

Have fun trying out different guitars!

Answer 3

either of these guitars are nice, but i beleive the top one looks the best, because they both have pick gaurds thats good, but they dont have a cut out (isnt really needed in most cased) but thats fine.
