Acoustic Guitar Reviews

Choosing the perfect acoustic guitar can be a daunting task. In this acoustic guitar reviews section, I’ll help explain some of the qualities you should be looking for in an acoustic guitar. The best acoustic guitar will be different for everyone, but I hope I can point you in the right direction.

I’ve owned many acoustic guitars over the years, and it’s hard to say which one is my favorite. I have this heap of junk Yamaha that was my first acoustic guitar ever, but I love that thing! Sure, my Takamine sounds better and plays better, but that old Yamaha just has *soul*. “Best” is a relative term, so do your research and get to know what you like about a certain guitar.

Ok, enough about my acoustic guitars, let’s get on with some Acoustic Guitar Reviews You Can Use:

Things to Keep in Mind When Shopping for Acoustic Guitars

What’s My Budget? This is a huge factor. You want to buy the best guitar you can afford, but not go overboard. If you’re just starting out and don’t know how to play guitar yet, it’s ok to get a lower-cost guitar. If you’re playing professionally or recording, you’ll want to spend the extra money get a great guitar. A good rule is to try to get a guitar that is a little bit nicer than you think you want. This way, as you get better at playing guitar, you will have a good instrument to play on.

Where Will I Play This Thing? Many “bedroom guitarists” will not be playing for an audience. If that’s you, you don’t need to go all-out on some fancy guitar. On the other hand, if you plan to be playing in front of people, it can help your confidence to have a nice guitar. If you play professionally (make money at it), you’ll want as nice a guitar as you can get your hands on. It’s also tax deductible

What’s My Experience Level? As I mentioned above, if you’re brand new to guitar you do not need to get an expensive instrument. You won’t even appreciate the difference between a nicer guitar and a low end acoustic! If you’re an intermediate player, you should get something nice for yourself that you can “grow into.”

How Much Do I Care About Aesthetics? This is probably the least important factor, but looks do count. Some players like flashy new guitars, and ornamentation might be important. On the other side of the spectrum, I think about Willie Nelson and his beat to shit acoustic guitar with a hole right under the sounds hole. To me, that means the guitar has some soul and has seen some action, and I love that. You could also start out with a brand spankin’ new acoustic and slowly “break her in” over the course of many years. It’s all up to you… be sure to enjoy the process!
