What Is The Ideal Beginner Guitar?

Beginner guitars are typically inexpensive guitars for beginning guitarists.  Often times these beginning guitars come as a "starter" pack that includes all the basic items a new student would need.  (Ex:  Guitar, gig bag, picks, extra strings, strap, tuner, etc.)

There are several brands on the market at an array of prices.  I have seen starter packs as low as $75 and as high as $300.  So how do you decide which one to get?  First if you're planning on taking lessons then ask you teacher for suggestions on brands and the best place to purchase them.  I suggest purchasing locally so if there's any kind of defect you can return it to the store directly.  Also you can actually go in and see the color and get a feel for the instrument.  Often times I will go with my students and help them pick one out.

Also I suggest going with an off brand verses a brand name.  Many of the brand name like Fender and Gibson are priced higher and the quality is the same!  What these large companies don't tell the consumer is that they contract out their "cheaper" guitars to overseas manufacturers.  What happens is the same overseas manufacturer that makes a guitar for Fender will also make an off brand like Johnson or Sammick and they will use the same parts!

Another reason to get a cheaper guitar is if you don't stick with it you can sell it for at least half or more of what you paid for it.  Do the math...$100 guitar...sell it for $50.....$300 sell it for $150 if your lucky...see what I mean.  Spend a little now and if you stick with it you can spend more later!

A beginner guitar player should look up for a guitar that he is comfortable with. There are many guitar companies in the market that make guitars for beginners. However if a learner wants value for money he should invest in a guitar which has been manufactured or produced by a big brand name company. A beginner can invest in guitar by Fender.

A Fender Squire is a good option as it is being manufactured by Fender guitars. The squire is very affordable and it comes with a backing of Fender Guitars which is one of the largest guitars making company in the world. Other options include an Epiphone. Epiphone is a guitar made by Gibson. Gibson is also one of the biggest Guitar making company in the world. These guitars are a safe bet for beginners as their action, fret board and sound quality is very good for a beginner.

In my point of view I will prefer Yamaha C -40 to all beginners, because its work with me also.
