Hello all, this is the first post on the blog and we’ll begin with picking up the perfect beginner’s acoustic guitar. Alright, beginner’s acoustic guitar is about a guitar which is good for a start and probably continue with it for a longtime with. So, choosing the perfect guitar is quite important and it’s going to take some time to search for your guitar. A lot beginners don’t know where to start. Well,start by looking for an acoustic guitar. An acoustic guitar is a simple box guitar without any electronics to it. And that’s really what you need to start of with. Again you might have to look at few other things to choose it and here are some points to consider when your buying the box guitar.

Size and shape

Size of the guitar is very important, not only for the a comfort playing but for a good sound so you hear the harmonics of the guitar clearly. In simple words, the guitar sounding clear. There are few shapes which you might come across while searching, like Jumbo,F cut, auditorium, Orchestra, Dreadnought and so on. Dreadnought will the best choice for a beginner’s guitar cause its comfortable and most important,sounds good. try avoiding a cutaway cause the guitar without the cutaway sounds more fuller.

Wood

Guitars today come with the a lot combination of woods. For a beginner, the best will be a spruce top body, maple sides,back neck and head and rosewood fret board. These are the most common wood specs on a standard beginner’s acoustic guitar.

Action of the guitar

This guitar's action looks good

Action of the guitar is the distance between the strings and the fret board. There is misconception that, lower the action, better it is to play. Well,not true. Low action might have a buzzing sound from the guitar while playing and its very annoying. And higher action is difficult to play and it might hurt your fingers . So, having an action which doe not buzz and which doesn't strain your fingers will be the action of the guitar which you need to look for.

Other check

Other checks will be for any cracks, dents, scratches and bad finishing on the guitar. Make sure the finishing of the guitar is good before you buy so there is no regretting later after you buy the guitar.

Make sure you get a decent guitar but not a cheap guitar cause cheap ones might sound awful and you'll lose in playing the guitar and might ending up not learning at all.
