Question for music creators, whats the best guitar to buy for a beginner?
Comments
- If you know that that beginner will really develop an in depth interest on guitar playing, I would go for a decent guitar to start with. I would recommend a Gibson SG always because: It's versatile enough for different types of sound and it's super light, saving your back from damage ahaha. I think they start around 1k ish euros. Fenders are amazing as well, would recommend a Jaguar. But if budget is the way, both gibson and fender have sub-brands. Epiphone and Squier. The quality might lower a bit, but they are still great guitars.
- Depends on what you want to spend. My first guitar was a mexican made fender strat and I loved it. Played that guitar all throughout my teens.
- cool post 😃 it doesn’t really matter i would say go to a shop and have some fun and whatever guitar u pick up where u don’t want to put it down that’s the one ❤️
- Yamaha Pacifica. Pretty legendary now as being THE entry-level guitar. Not as sexy as a Fender or Gibson, but wayyyy more playable in terms of bang for buck.
- Just go to the music house, seat, and try out every guitar around, even if you know anything about playing. There is something, a natural connection, a vibration deep in your chest that will let you know which one is the one. That was my experience back in 2005 I still believe it was the best choice ever..
- there’s some good shops in nyc like mannys and norman’s rare guitars
- Acoustic and get a stand or a mount so that you can just grab it and play
- I can’t believe no one said a Squier which is the beginner version of a Fender.
- Ukelele!! You can learn to play fairly quickly so you won't be frustrated.
- I would begin with a Alhambra or some easy study guitar that you can bring with you.
- If this is for the baby I approve - good to start young
- Maybe a controversial opinion but for a quality vintage guitar that's affordable and will only increase in value (great if the person gives up playing and want's to re-sell a few months later): The Silvertone 1449.
Iconic, easy to play. Solid choice.

- Are you sold on guitar? Music is a language, in my super humble and totally debatable opinion, I'd start with core understanding...beat and rhythm. That said, perhaps consider a bass before moving into guitar. Hear me out: right out of the bag, You can jam; most of the time it even sounds good, especially if you have an amp, pair it with an effects pedal, and a remotely decent sense of rhythm... 💥 You get a feel for how to listen and then how to make your fingers play what you hear in your head. Then get technical once it pulses through you. Fender fretless jazz bass was my go-to for frustration free foundational understanding. But then again, only the best have calluses and I certainly don't. This public service comment is an ADHD friendly approach to creative music content creation.
- seriously, get an acoustic (any brand but Yamaha are good value for money) and learn on that before moving to electric. You will developer better technique and stronger fingers quicker, because acoustic is harder to play and less forgiving. Learn for a year regularly, then watch at how easily playing electric comes!
- Get a washburn or an ibanez, les Paul are great too 👍
- For a beginner, a good option for a guitar would be the Yamaha FG800 or FG830. They are affordable, yet still offer good sound quality and playability. Other options to consider could be the Fender Squier Stratocaster or the Epiphone Les Paul Special II. It's also important for beginners to consider their physical comfort with the guitar.
- It's Really depends on your budget
In low budget I suggest Squire Guitars and upper than you can many choices in fender and Ibanez Brand
- It really depends on your budget and what type of sound you're looking for. For a beginner, I would recommend starting with an acoustic guitar. You can find some great starter guitars in the $200-$300 range, such as the Fender FA-100 or the Yamaha FG800. Once you have a better idea of what kind of sound you're looking for, you can look into more expensive electric guitars.
- It doesn't matter what kind of guitar to choose!
First you must love music... and you will find your favorite guitar 😄
- My first guitar is Yamaha
- dont know much about guitar n all
- Fender CD-60S All-Mahogany Acoustic Guitar. This is my first guitar.
- go to a shop and touch some necks. you want something max-comfort for your first guitar while you build finger strength and get a feel for what you like playing... or just get a Fender teleacoustic
- don't know much about guitar
- Begin with a yamaha guitar!
- Yamaha Silent Guitar!
When you start learning guitar, use the silent guitar so that you won't produce any noise to others.
- any guitar from yamaha
- It relly depends on the budget; usually YAMAHA are the best ones for beginners
- It's absolutely depends on your budget
But for low budget I recommend Squire and upper than fender ( Mexican or American made)and Ibanez(Indonesian and Japan made)
- i think fender is good to all your journey...
- Acoustic guitars: Yamaha FG800 or Fender CD-60S，Electric guitars: Squier Bullet Strat or Epiphone Les Paul Special II
- gm fren. Fender and Ibanez manufacture some wonderful, relatively inexpensive ( between $150- $400 USD) instruments that will last . This guitar (Ibanez) here cost me $285 dollars and I've been shedding on it for years. Are you thinking acoustic or electric, approx age of student? I also would look on sites like Reverb, don't hesitate going with a used piece. You can get some real solid bargains. If you pick one up and ever wanna jam.. LFG
- I find the main difference between cheap and expensive guitars is in how frequently you need to tune it.
Sound-wise, they're all unique but a beginner shouldn't notice the difference.
Playability wise, they're virtually the same (my first cheap beginner guitar had its strings further away from the fretboard so you needed to press harder. But that's it.)
But cheaper guitars go out of tune quicker. That's the main thing to bear in mind. Otherwise, it doesn't matter, just play :)
- Starting from nothing, acoustic guitars are great because you have a full complete sound without any extra equipment. It will force good fingering and picking technique before you add the abstractions of electric guitars.
- Yamaha is good for beginer.
- My first guitar was a mexican made fender strat and I loved it.
- I would like to recommend A Fender classic style for you
- Yamaha c80, i have 13 years with my guitar
- Why did you choose the guitar? I can help you choose the best violin
- After you get your guitar, you may need some songs to learn. One of the easiest songs to practice on the guitar when starting out is "Wonderwall" by Oasis. It's an easy tune that only requires four chords (Em, G, D, A) and a simple strumming pattern. Its pretty fun to learn a song that many people may recognize. Have fun Stani
- Depends on your budget, you have cool Fender for a few hundred bucks
- Electronic guitar?
- Box guitar
- Guitar - YAMAHA!
- I think Fender or MARTIN
- A borrowed guitar
