It is difficult to find such a person who would not love music. Given a large number of various musical instruments, everyone can find for himself the one that will be like to quickly learn to play. For many, such a tool is a guitar. And not ordinary, namely acoustic. We will try to consider what to date there are on sale the best acoustic guitars for beginners how to choose a really good model for a beginner.
Primary requirements
First of all, it is necessary to figure out what is the acoustics in this case. In fact, it is a string plumbing tool from a group of guitars, which forms the sound due to string vibrations. And the resonation of the empty case enhances the sound. This device usually has 6 strings. Note that there are 2 categories of such devices:
- Western, where strings made of metal are mounted;
- Classic, where only nylon strings apply.
With classic models, everything in principle is simple - elements and housing are made according to one principle. But the second category of models is divided into a large number of subcategories on various criteria. Among them, you can call the dimensions of the enclosures and vultures, manufacturing techniques and much more.
Such models have a more rich and ringing sound. This is achieved due to the fact that metal strings are used here. It will be the best solution for people that learn to sing under the guitar or play the mediator. The presence of a narrow grid makes it easier to apply "Barre". In addition, such a guitar is suitable for almost any genre of music. Although a number of works will sound unusual on such a guitar, it will be more relevant to the sound of a string from nylon.
Acoustic guitar of this type will be an excellent solution for beginners. The only disadvantage of it can be called that fingers that are not accustomed to the game on such an instrument will be extremely difficult to sort out metal strings.
Even experienced musicians say that it will be better to start with a classic model, because to the nylon get used to the faster.
In addition, the acoustic guitar should differ in such parameters.
- Lack of defects. The vulture should be without curvature, the product should not have chips or cracks, which can affect the sound tool. This is not particularly important for decks. If it is damaged, it is not necessary to acquire it.
- Must like. No one will play on the instrument that he does not like. Moreover, it is not only about the appearance, but also about the sound published.
- Qualitative sound. When using a guitar of some rattling about the thresholds and frets, it should not be observed. The device should give a clear and even sound, which is characterized by a large number of overtones.
- Ability to keep the system. On the guitar you need to play a little, and if it is upset quite quickly, you should refuse to buy it, because this phenomenon is unacceptable for high-quality instrument.
- Be comfortable. By purchasing a guitar from hand or in the store, you need to stand up with it, to hold it in your hands. It will not be superfluous to lose it. You should pay attention to the position of the body and hands, because it should be comfortable to keep it.
Rating the best models
Now we will make a small top rating of guitars on various price categories, ranging from budget and finishing premium models.Inexpensive
Consideration of cheap models I want to start with COLOMBO LF-3800CT SB. It is one of the most budget. Refers to the category "Western". It has 21 ways. Another interesting feature of COLOMBO LF-3800CT SB will be the presence of lower deck, which is made from the linden. This is a distinctive feature of this particular guitar.
Its price is 4000 rubles. The upper deca is painted in color called "Striped Sanburst". If we talk about the grief, it is created from a mahogany and supplemented with a lining of the rosewood. The mass of this model is about 2 kilograms, the reviews on the Internet about it are mostly positive.
Another interesting model is called ENYA EA-X1. This guitar also belongs to the western category. Interestingly, the body of the considered model of the instrument from ENYA is made from the red tree. We add that there is a special pattern on the upper and lower decks, as well as the shell called Koa HPL. To apply it is used to handle the product of high pressure. The flasks here are made of black steel, and a vulture is made of mahogany. The price of this guitar is about 13 thousand rubles.
An interesting feature will be included with the tool of the cover, belt, the set of strings and the mediator. The guitar under consideration does not differ in some kind of special sound. According to reviews, it can be concluded that users are faced with defective instances. For this reason, when purchasing the model under consideration should be attentive.
Another inexpensive tool to pay attention to - Yamaha F-310. It is considered one of the best in the segment for beginners. One of the main advantages is an affordable price - about 10 thousand rubles. In addition, the brand is also important here, because Yamaha's company has long been famous for its quality products. The upper deck here was made of ate, which, according to the manufacturer, is also a factor that allows the guitar to make an excellent sound and transmit even the finest shades of the melody.
It should also be noted an extremely interesting design, because the body depth and a minzur length are less here than at the analogs. The shelter and deck below are created from Meranti, and the riding pad here is a barisandrovaya. At the same time, attention should be focused on the specificity of the sound of the creation of Japanese engineers. The model has a serious severity of high frequencies, but the low heard is very bad. If you have a musical hearing, you will need to look for a guitar that is busty. Users marked the large height of the lower threshold, which can not be completely removed by the adjustment of the anchor.
Of the advantages of the model you should call:
- low price;
- good quality manufacturing;
- cool appearance;
- Thoughtful design.
From the flaws, I will select:
- too pronounced upper frequencies;
- The need to subscribe the lower thoracic.
Average price segment
Now let's talk about the average category models. AND The first one I want to say - Fender CD-60S BLK. Its value is about 20,000 rubles. The upper deck is made from the array of ate, and the rear deca and the shelter - from a mahogany. The frame of the guitar is created in the form "Dreadnought". This will be one of the factors that has a serious impact on the sound. On the jiff, you can see 2 dozen of the lands, and the profile is distinguished by the edges of the rounded type. The manufacturer claims that the model is suitable for the execution of any musical work.
We note the balanced tone of the guitar, which is characterized by a rather large number of mid-type frequencies. From the unpleasant moments you can select the thresholds that are made of plastic.
The benefits of FENDER CD-60S BLK include:
- slices made of chromium;
- a small price;
- thoughtful shape of the griff;
- nice design;
- Balanced sound.
Her minuses will be:
- lack of cover;
- Wood as material for the top deck;
- Plastic thoring.
The following model of the middle segment - Sigma 00m-15 produced in China. Its cost is about 30,000 rubles. But the guitar is distinguished by high quality performance. The upper threshold in said model - bone, and the upper deca is made from a solid mahagon, like the lower deck with a shell. The use of this particular material made it possible to make the sound as uniform. The vulture is also created from the aforementioned material. Complete tool from Sigma strings from brass. During their regulation, chromed cast rings are answered, which is placed symmetrically one different. In addition, there is a menzura 645 millimeters long. The width of the upper clamp is here - just under 43 millimeters. Lada marked points.
The advantages of the model can be called:
- bone beams;
- excellent sound;
- cast slices;
- Corps, which is covered with transparent varnish;
- Good brass strings complete.
Minus - no cover.
Another model of this segment, which I wanted to say - crafter D-7 / N worth 31,000 rubles. She goes in a case that has gray. The guitar itself is made under the natural tree. One of the reasons for its high cost is the top deck here is made from the cedar array. Also here applies a red tree. Such a combination of materials allows to provide an interesting viscous sound, which, as if envelops the listener.
The neck here is narrow, because of what, without a mediator, do not do here. The guitar is also equipped with a lining made from the Indian rosewood. Fastening here can be called classic - by type "swallow tail". Very interesting looks like a housing pad that overflows.
Make crafter D-7 / N in South Korea, the quality of its assembly can be described as very high.

And a little tell about the pair of premium guitars. First - Gibson J-35 Antique Natural worth almost 15,000,000 rubles. For this money, you can become the owner of a class tool, where the upper deck is made from the Sitkina ate, and the lower deck with the shell and the vulture from Mahagony. But the pad is made from the rosewood. The neck received 20 wards, which is indicated by points.
The width of the upper clamp - 44 and a half millimeters. Interestingly, there is a vintage spring mechanism in the form of the letter X and the Suiter LR Baggs VTC. Elements are impregnated with special oil, which, according to the manufacturer, greatly improves the sound.
Second Premium Model - Ibanez AE900-NT. It refers to the electroacoustic, and therefore, equipped with a pickup. Its cost is about 230,000 rubles. Here I was installed with a ridge mahagony and a trim from satin, as well as bone thresholds and a rosewood lining. By the way, the deck is done from it, however, its facial side is from Sitkinsky ate. The accessories here is installed chromed.
The guitar is equipped with a 451 millimeter guitar and Banez T-Bar pickups, which are complemented by the Ibanez Custom preamp. This guitar can be called an excellent combination of good electronics and high-quality materials.
Criterias of choice
Some tips will help you in the selection of guitars. What is important to consider?
- Correct the budget. Of course, here everything is individually, but the right solution will first choose a cheap option or a model from the average price segment. Then, as the experience set, you can buy a better and expensive model.
- Decide with the type of guitar that is needed. It is necessary to estimate the convenience of the model. But if there are no specific preferences for one or another characteristics, then you should purchase guitars, which fell to taste.
- Choose the desired size. It is impossible to be mistaken, because the guitars are made regarding the age category of people and their physique. For example, 4 for 4 are suitable for adults, for young people - 4 to 3, and for children - 2/4 and 1/4. The last two categories are on sale practically not to find.
- It is required to correctly choose the type of strings. For conventional string guitars from metal will not fit. They are usually used on acoustics. The newcomer will be easier to start with the game on nylon strings, but the steel will suit people more. Some novice musicians immediately stretch the metal, without spare this in the future. But it is necessary to adversely.
- Ask for advice from an experienced friend. Ask the advice from a musician will not be superfluous, because they will tell about their experience in using guitars, and will also help not stumble upon a fake.
If the purchase is carried out alone, then you should be as attentive to communicate more with consultants of the outlet, inspect all the elements, as well as whether to use the tool and play a little to understand what sound he publishes.
