Hi all,
Anyone own an acoustic guitar or play an acoustic guitar professionally? I'm looking to get a beginner guitar, and like always I research the hell out of it before I put out money. Right now I am eyeing the Yamaha fg700s guitar from guitarcenter for around 200 bucks. I know the Solid top matters with sound and also the wood its made of determines how good it sound. But this is what i need help with: I see used guitars sell for 50-100 bucks like the Ibanez SGT130 SAGE, is it worth the savings? And will i get a better-bang-for-the-buck if i buy a 300 dollar guitar compared to the fg700s? everyone says test out the guitar before you buy because same model guitars will play differently even when they are brand new. So what am i looking for? I've played other instruments before but that was a very long time ago, so basically i know nothing. I know i want low action (distance between the strings and the frets) and an adjustable neck. Anything else? thanks alot. |
