Only The Best Electronic Equipment

Every seasoned guitar player out there remembers what it was like on the day they got their first guitar into their hands. This occasion can be life changing for some, but not always. The acoustic guitar you choose to buy can have a huge effect your approach to the instrument.

As Acoustic Guitars can vary considerably in comparison to electric and classical. I have listed a few examples of the most highly recommended acoustic guitars for beginners.

Yamaha Acoustic Guitars

Within the past several years, due to the improvements in manufacturing in the East and the lowering in cost of materials, the Japanese electronics giant, Yamaha, has supplied the music market with quality, professionally crafted guitars. They have numerous models, catering for beginners and also advanced players.

The Yamaha FG730S is an example of what Yamaha can offer at a low price. Starting around $300, this model has a solid spruce top, giving it excellent tone, with a rosewood bridge and fingerboard. Acoustics in this sort of price range are usually hampered with high action, how close strings are to the fret board, making playing difficult for beginners. This Yamaha guitar’s strings are set at a huge distance from the frets, without affecting the powerful sounds.

Ibanez Guitars

Ibanez, a familiar name at the lower end of the guitar spectrum, that is known for their durability and value for money. They also offer attractive all-in-one packages, which include everything you need to get started, such as picks, extra sets of strings, a strap, and a learning to play DVD.

However, the Ibanez cheaper models tend not to compare with other brands – lacking the sound and playability that will help you to enjoy the instrument. In order to get the best that Ibanez have to offer you will have to pay a little bit extra. Their AEL10E model, at around $399, comes with a fitted pickup, which gives you the option of connecting it to an amplifier. It has won many fans for its low action and distinct sounding body – built with a spruce top and rosewood fret board and bridge. Although not as powerful as the Yamaha FG70S, a common drawback in acoustic electric guitar models, it does provide a rich tone when plugged into an amplifier.

Alvarez Acoustic Guitars

The Alvarez Regent series is increasingly becoming a popular choice for beginners, as they offer good craftsmanship at the best price compared to similar models in other brands. The Dreadnought body with spruce top provides this acoustic guitar with a strong, rounded sound that you cannot get from either the Yamaha or Ibanez guitars.

When you hear this guitar for the first time, it seems that the Regent series is an attempt of Alvarez to imitate more expensive brands, as it does provide a nice, distinct tone, but doesn’t quite have the depth of a Yamaha. The Regent series starts around $220 dollars, making it one of the cheapest spruce-topped Acoustic Guitars you can buy.
