I Want To Learn Guitar. Which is the best guitar to buy?

Knowing which guitar to buy when you want to learn to play is the million dollar question.


Heres a few pointers.

What music do I like?
If the answer is Eva Cassidy, then you want to be looking at acoustic guitars.
If the answer is Jimi Hendrix then you want to be looking at electric guitars.

This may seem a bit obvious but it's surprising the amount of people who dont consider this before buying.

How much do you want to spend?
If you can afford a £2000 Gibson guitar then great you'll have a great guitar. But most people wont want to spend serious money on their first guitar.
Most guitar shops sell starter packs for around the £200 price range maybe cheaper.
Top Tip
Look on Ebay at people selling unwanted guitars in your local area. There are loads of kids bought guitars by their parents. The kid plays it once or twice looses interest and it end up on ebay.
Just the other day I saw this Starter Kit go for £35. click

Acoustic guitars : Vintage V300 click  Yamaha F310 click
