With Christmas sneaking up on us
faster than you can say Santa Claus, it might be time to think about
buying that first guitar for you or the budding guitar player in the
family.
We get loads of emails asking us what
is the best guitar to buy for a beginner. The answer depends on many
variables, but for the true beginner the answer is a acoustic guitar
that cost less than $100.
When you purchase a Acoustic Guitar
you are doing two things.
First off you don't need to spend the
extra money on a Guitar & Amp right away, this is extra important if the
intended recipient is not fully committed to learning to play guitar.
Second and probably the most important
reason is that with a new acoustic guitar your giving your child a head
start in playing guitar. Why is this you ask ? In my many years of
teaching, kids who start on an acoustic guitar have a much higher
success rate & actually go on to be accomplished musicians. This mainly
lies in the reason that you can actually feel the music vibrate through
the guitar into your hands and body. This connects you with guitar on
deeper level than hearing blaring loud rock chords coming out of a cheap
electric guitar amp.
Some people might disagree with me,
saying that Acoustic Guitars are harder to play, that is not the case
anymore, if in the past you had a cheap acoustic guitar, chances are it
was very poorly made with sub par parts. Today's Cheap Acoustic guitars
are far superior to instruments made 10-20 years ago. With new
technology and a smarter, savvier buying market, guitar manufacturers
were forced to make a better guitar. Since the late 90's most companies
are now making amazing acoustic guitars, well within the budgets of most
American families.
Ok, so you know which Acoustic Guitar
do I buy ? Well, we are here to help. The following is a list of the
best acoustic guitars under $100. They are available for purchase by
clicking on the more info link and

Rogue RA-100D Dreadnought Guitar -
More Info
I know what you are thinking... A
guitar for under $50 ? Yeah right. I thought the same thing until they
sent me a model to review. Alright it's not a Martin or a Taylor, but it
costs $50 ! If I would have had this guitar 25 years ago when I started
playing, it would have my early years a heck of a lot easier.
Plays extremely well with very low
action (how close the strings are to the fretboard) and sounds even
better, great tone and vibration. I was totally surprised with the
quality of this guitar for the money.
What do you have to lose, nothing
except your child becoming the next big star !
