Hi everyone.

Id like to tell you about a reliable, great sounding, and affordable beginner acoustic guitar, made by a company called Valencia. I highly recommend any acoustic guitar made by Valencia, particularly their nylon string range.

Cheap, reliable, and sturdy, with a nice full sound.

Valencia Classical Kit 1 3/4 Size Classical Acoustic Guitar


Music is life, and it inspires! I started out on Valencia nylon string beginner acoustic guitars all those years ago, and i still play one today. I recall many years ago, travelling the streets of Europe with a trusty brand new Valencia guitar slung over my shoulder. It lived with me through rain, through hail, in the sunshine, from the big central square in the city of Edinburgh one warm summer, to the streets of Berlin, London, and Paris.

It came with me through the good times and the not so good times. Sleeping on the streets of Paris may sound romantic to some, and i suppose in hindsight it was for me, but i also remember many a cold, sleepless night, as i found a cardboard box behind a church, or up a dark, damp laneway to rest my weary bones, and caress my ever true new friend. My guitar. Of course, cardboard boxes were, and im sure still are, at a premium in most big cities, as they are quite warm, and help keep out the wind, so i'd often hear some hesitant shuffling just outside my box in the middle of the night from someone checking me out, or seeing if the box was vacant. My guitar was my passport too, and a great icebreaker. The language of music is an International, and timeless one. It helped feed me, as i would often literally sing for my supper! And the people you meet. The memories. That, my friends, is the treasure.

So, i can tell you that this guitar (and i) survived the streets of Europe for around 2 years, and despite a few little nicks and scratches, it looks great, and sounds and plays better than ever. I think Valencia should maybe sponsor me from now on. ha! But seriously, this is a guitar you should look at, and a reliable great sounding first, or second, third, fourth guitar.

You want to start with a nylon string guitar, which are also known as classical guitars, as the nylon strings are easier on the fingers for a beginner.
You will develop hardened fingertips after a little practice, which is what you are after.
Your fingertips will toughen up, and they wont hurt at all eventually. Here is a description of Valencia guitars from the manufacturer.

Beautiful Spanish Guitar Styling, usually only found on guitars double this price!
Standard Classical Guitar Setup: Bottom 3 strings are steel strings, top 3 are nylon strings.
Classical style open tuners. Natowood fretboard and bridge.
Elegant Basswood back and sides Ornate sound hole binding Instructional DVD included!
Overall length 36 1/2 in. Width of the nut 1 11/16 in. Scale length 23 in. Weight 5 lbs.

You dont need to start with an expensive instrument.
Valencia guitars, and i've played many, are very comfortable to play, well made, cheap to buy, and sound excellent for a beginner guitar.
The construction is sturdy, solid, and sound, and i have one that i donated to a drop in community centre about 15 years ago, that is still going strong, and yep, it has a couple of nicks and scratches now, but it still sounds great.
In fact, like all wooden guitars and musical instruments, it just sounds better with age.
The best acoustic guitar that I highly recommend, is a nylon string acoustic guitar for beginners, from kids to teenagers, adults to grandparents.
It doesnt matter one bit how old you are, its never too late to buy a guitar and learn. Making your own music has restorative powers, that will sooth your soul, and the soul of the listener.
So come on and get started!
The Valencia Classical Kit 1 3/4 Size Classical Acoustic Guitar is a great guitar to begin on.

Keep Pickin!
