Hi ! Im new here and I was just wondering if you guys could help me out. I want to start learning to play guitar but before I just jump right into it, I need to buy one. Im willing to spend anywhere from 250 usd to 350 usd on a new acoustic guitar. I dont want anything fancy, just something that would be a good first guitar or learning guitar. I am willing to push my budget to a maximum of 400 usd but i'd of hoped not to spend that much due to not knowing if this will be another of my "good ideas" that I ended up getting frustrated or bored with. Any how, I am very new to the guitar world and not many of my friends are into this sort of thing, so I was wondering if you could help me out.
-What are the big guitar company names? I've seen a couple such as Fender, Gibson, etc just by reading on the forums.
-What, in your opinion, would be a good guitar to start learning on ?
-Is my price range too low ? Do I need to invest more money into this idea ?
-What else would I need to have success in learning ?
-What other expenses will I come across?
I'd like just some input from the community. I've been browsing the forums and site for a couple of days now and have finally decided to go through with this. I appologise if this has been posted before but when I used the search function, my questions went unanswered. Thank you for your time and replys :)
whoa!
Since this question is posed almost on a daily basis, it probably gave the poor search engine heart failure! :wink:
But I've taken the liberty to move your question to our (relatively new) Forum page specifically created for questions of this sort. You won't need a search engine here to read all the general answers and you'll probably also get lots of direct replies to your request for information.
Welcome to Guitar Noise and welcome to the wonderful world of guitar!
Peace
