@sahardellamorady Hello Sahar;
People were wondering your price range, but I thought you gave a fairly good idea of that when you said “Martins are good guitar, but out of your price range”.
Ok, so we’re under $1000, and if we can get under $500, even better.
Some of the best guitar manufacturers at the lower price points are:
Epiphone
Ibanez
Alvarez
Yamaha
Washburn
In the lower price range, everyone beats the big names, with the exception of Taylor’s GS Mini. For the money, that is a truly remarkable guitar. However, it’s gone up and you may not want a small bodied guitar with a short scale length.
So, what do you want? Since you are new to the game of picking out guitars, you must get to a store and pick up guitars and spend as much time as you can playing them. What size and shape do you want the guitar body to be? And how long (scale length) do you want the neck to be. And how wide do you want the nut (top of the neck) to be. You will only be able to answer these questions by picking up some guitars.
After that, you must like the price and the looks and the sound. Everything after that is unimportant. You must like it, hopefully love it. The looks, the feel and the sound. And yeah, that might be the correct order, because it’s the looks that will get you to pick your guitar up. Then, no matter how much you love the sound, if the guitar hurts your shoulders or your fingers or your wrists, or whatever, you can’t play it.
So I’ll say it again: you must like, hopefully love, the looks, the feel and the sound. And you must be able to afford it. Don’t pick up guitars you can’t afford. Big mistake.
