I’m a complete novice. I’m want to learn to play the guitar. I’ve read a bit about em and from my research full sale guitars are best. I also know the different kinds like Acoustic, Electric and Acoustic/Electric. I’m thinking of maybe getting an acoustic for my 1st guitar.

What are some benefits of the combo though, as from getting em separate?

I want a guitar that’s well made like from Japan or something, and I hear Chinese made guitars are junk. I’m a girl, 21, and was looking to getting a Daisy Rock becuase I want a real pretty guitar BUT that dont mean I want it to be all about looks. I want a guitar that plays well and looks good. I dont want a guitar that lacks color or style or anything lol. (yeah im very picky)

What are some good guitars that aren’t chinese made (and possibly affordable)?

Your an adult so get an adult guitar. Daisy rock guitars are children’s toys. They are absolute junk. Get a decent quality standard steel string acoustic. Don’t get a fancy colored guitar because you may not even stick with playing that long. (guitar has one of the highest rates of people quitting after a short time than all other instruments). Go to your local music store and check into a good starter pak from Fender, Epiphone, Yamaha, or Ibanez. Each of these companies makes a very good quality beginners guitar that is full size, comes with a gig bag,and an electronic tuner, for under $200. You should definitely get lessons too. Over 90% of all people who try to teach themselves end up quitting due to frustration and lack of direction. A good teacher can show you the proper way to play and keep you motivated.
Remember, style comes from within, not from a colored guitar.

I will pay up to 380£ as i’m truely in love with the guitar (though i have a licenced copy but don’t want to play a duff instument during live shows or embarass myself… please let me know !!!!!!!

where do you live? i live in birmingham i’m selling you mine for 200!!!!!

Where can I find Benedetto guitars for sale on web and/or in person?

Check out daddy’s junky music. They sell thousands of used insruments.

What’s your budget? Ebay and craigslist have tons of great deals. If you want to go new but still get a good deal SX basses are great for the money. Many good reviews on them, and some cool youtube videos too.

Anyone know of a good place in Canada that has a wide selection of used guitars for sale? I’m looking at fenders (strat or tele) or Gibson. Roughly a $900 budget.

try musicians friend or american musical.
they have alot of guitars and also alot of cheap used ones in perfect condition.

There are quite a few beginner acoustic guitars for sale on ebay for around 30 to 40 bucks. Is this good? I would like to buy one but I’m on a tight budget, but I also don’t want a piece of total junk. So, are these prices okay for beginner guitars? Thanks in advance!!!

Yes and no — you need to be careful of second hand guitars because if they weren’t properly taken care of the neck might be warped. When this happens you have to put a lot of pressure on the strings to get the right sound from them. It makes it hard for beginners to actually enjoy learning how to play.
I bought my kid a guitar a few years ago and it ran me a little over a hundred dollars. But you can get a new one on clearance from Sam Ash — for about $60. Please visit the link listed as my source– also you can search for music stores on the web you might come across a sale. Try to stick with nylon strings in the beginning– metal ones can cut your fingers to shreds if you haven’t built up callouses.

and if not
can i haggle them them to give me the online price?(which is cheaper)

another question:
when it says msrp:$___ is that the price they sell it for at the actual store or is that something else

Not always. most of their stuff is used (guitars and drums main;y) so you could bargain the price

MSRP is basically the value of it.

I know that you are not supposed to ask for things, but I am looking for a Japan-made Ibanez or USA-made Epiphone. I am looking for my son and he is really excited about this, he loves music. Do you have any links to craigs-list or ebay that are in good condition. I do not need an amplifier.

Please Reply with good and serious answers!?

You can ask for anything you like!

It would help though if we knew what kind of guitar your son is looking for. I don’t understand why the Yamaha must be of Japanese manufacture and the Epi U.S. made. I have two Japanese Epiphones and love them both. Haven’t met a Yamaha yet that I would purchase.

You already mentioned Craig’s List and eBay and you can certainly search for guitars there, but it would probably be a lot easier and safer to just visit some guitar shops that deal in used instruments.

Furthermore, your son should have a hand in choosing that guitar. In fact, unless you’re an expert player yourself, your son should have the final word. You cannot possibly know how his hands feel on a guitar, or what it feels like in his arms. In general, I avoid encouraging anyone to buy a musical instrument for another unless you give them a check or gift certificate and let them do the picking (no pun intended, but I’m not gonna fret about it).

I’d set a budget amount and get your son involved in the shopping and purchase. That way, it’s still your gift to your son, and it’s more likely he’ll be happier longer with this first guitar.

Best of luck!

My friend had gotten a Taylor off of craigslist.

It seems like a lot of people do this, hence all the guitars for sale on craigslist.

You know, just as I read this, I noticed my lonely guitar in the corner. I’ve been meaning to learn to play for so long. Maybe I should work on it tonight.
