Mitchell MX430

If a Mitchell guitar has crossed my path, I don’t recall my impression. I am pretty certain I have never played one, so I cannot say anything from personal experience. I did learn from a simple search that Mitchell’s are made in China, and that they are lower-priced instruments sold at Guitar Center and Musicians Friend, which are essentially the same outlet. Based on this limited information, my answer would be “not so much”, but I’m in the dark.

A guitar of good quality is primarily one that sounds good and makes it’s owner a maker of music. Since you asked, I suspect you have either played one, are considering buying one, or both. What is your take on the brand?

My best advice would be to make up your own mind after you have spent no less than ten hours playing guitars in stores near you and had the chance to compare Mitchell’s with guitars of similar price made by Martin and or Taylor. At least you will have a basis to compare what you think about Mitchell guitars. Good luck!

It is hard to beat the advice @paul0r gave. Try them out and compare. I have 2 primary guitars that I play all the time. One was $1600 and the other $300 I love them both as much as the other and they were both worth the money. This sounds cliche, but the best guitar is the one you can’t put down, even months after you bought it, all brands aside.
