subject: What Is The Right Guitar For Beginners [print this page] Buying your first acoustic guitar is exciting, but it can be frightening at the same time. What do you look for? I always recommend getting an average size of a guitar for beginners. Later on when you are more proficient and know what sound you want, then you can think of different kinds.

Buying a big name guitar is smart. Companies have a reputation to protect so they want to make sure everyone is satisfied with their purchases. If you don't like dealing with salesmen then ordering online is a great way to go. You can always send it back if it has any damages from shipping. Just always check to see if they have a good return policy. That is very important. Most the time the items are shipped with extreme care and you don't have to be troubled with that too much. If you are comparing prices from several companies it is also a good idea to keep the shipping and handling charges in mind.
