What Is The Best Buy Acoustic Guitar For Beginners?

Are you looking for a beginner guitar for kids? Perhaps you want an acoustic guitar for a beginner but the choice is baffling? This page is about best buy acoustic guitars for beginners. You want to buy a steel strung acoustic guitar? I have put a selection of basic best buy beginner guitars together here. Whether you need a pink beginner guitar for a girl or a cheap starter guitar for an adult, a cool guitar for a boy or a classical guitar, this page will hopefully give you some ideas.


Things you need to remember when buying a guitar include the age of the player, whether they can cope with steel strings or whether nylon would be more appropriate and what sort of music they want to play. For playing chords and songs, a steel strung acoustic is usually good, but the strings will be too difficult for younger children. Click here for guitars suitable for very young children

A full size acoustic steel strung guitar generally has a narrower fretboard than a classical guitar, so a man with larger hands might be better starting with a classical guitar. A classical guitar is more suitable for fingerpicking and guitar solos in Spanish, classical or jazz styles in the early stages and has more variety of tone. Better quality guitars are not normally "branded" or given a color finish, but these more colorful designs are often what teens and tweens like because image matters. Anyway my hope is that you will enjoy browsing this selection, for greater product detail or reviews, or to buy a guitar, just press the "pick guitar" button or click on the image itself.

Beginner Acoustic Guitar For Boys and Older Teens

Some of these guitars are equally suitable for boys or girls, perhaps for older girls past the pony or fairy stage, but I have chosen those I thought might appeal. There is a range of colors, designs and prices. The cutaway feature may satisfy older boys wanting to play up the neck like rock guitar heroes. I included a high gloss neon pink guitar for boys (and older girls) who like pink but want something a bit more brash!

Best Acoustic Guitar for teens and adults

Older teens and adults might appreciate the better quality acoustic guitars, some coloured, others plain. Just because a guitar is plain does not make it less playable, many plain guitars use better wood in their construction and sound better! Some are more expensive, but all represent excellent value for money or, if you like, better bang for your buck.

    I got my little man a Baby Martin to play. He's a beginning guitarist. He's been asking for lessons since he was 5. Hope he sticks with it ;-D

    I lost my acoustic in a flood. Good god I miss it. I have my electric, but it's just not the same as the feel of a good ol' acoustic.

    There certainly is a wide range of Acoustic Guitars to choose from. Your suggestions and explanations here will certainly help the 'novice' or parent selecting a 'first' guitar for a child.

    My hubby played guitar for years (even had his own 'group' in college) and my son plays very well. Now son's boys (at 12 and 14) are trying it out. The guitar has always been my favorite musical instrument.

    I've always loved playing 'air guitar'... funny - you didn't have one listed. Darn. :) Actually, I have always wanted to learn - just never could get the coordination thing down - maybe one day I'll give it a shot again - or I'll buy one for my two year old and let me learn vicariously through her :) Thanks!

    I hear they had one of those on eBay a few years back. Made thousands in the auction! :)
