Best Beginner Acoustic Guitars

seagull s6 | learn guitar freeChoosing your first guitar is probably the most daunting task you’ll face in your journey of learning how to play the guitar. You need to buy a good guitar to facilitate your learning, as well as ensure that you really maximise your money’s worth. Listed below are a few recommendations of good acoustic guitars and value packages that you can consider.

Top Beginner Acoustic Guitars

I love these two acoustic guitars because they’re solid beginner guitars. Easy to play, smooth sounds, great bass — and definitely value for money. The Jasmine guitar costs only $99.99 SHIPPED! You can’t go wrong with that price. If you’re looking for a complete package, then I have a few recommendations for guitar starter kits too, just below this section.

Epiphone DR-100 Acoustic Guitar Natural

Overall Rating:
Epiphone DR-100 Acoustic Guitar Natural8.75

Epiphone DR-100 Acoustic Guitar Natural

The Epiphone DR-100 Acoustic Guitar is a nicely crafted acoustic guitar that sports a select spruce top and mahogany body and neck. This guitar epitomizes Epiphone’s focus on affordable quality. Epiphone builds the DR-100 Acoustic Guitar with chrome hardware, precision construction, and rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays.

I just recently got this guitar, i purchased it in color of black. I was really surprised by the quality at such a low low price. I would purchase new strings but the ones that come on it are fine for a beginner.New strings made a big difference in the quality of sound. I would recommend buying this guitar for beginners, you won’t be dissapointed in it. Great deal

Jasmine by Takamine S35 Acoustic Guitar Natural

Jasmine by Takamine S35 Acoustic Guitar Natural8.78

Jasmine by Takamine S35 Acoustic Guitar Natural

A remarkable value, the Takamine S35 Acoustic Guitar features a spruce top with nato back and sides. Full body binding and chrome machines are combined in one very playable dreadnought. The satin finish maximizes resonance.

This guitar is an amazing value. I have been playing for some time and came across this jewel unexpectedly. I was visiting a friends art showing and was asked to do some finger picking for atmosphere, I did not have my Martin in the car. Someone handed me a Jasmine with the protective coating still on the pick guard, after a bit of tuning I played it for 2+ hours. I then bought it from that person, thats how good it is. I have since replaced the strings with Elixir coated special 11’s and it sounds sweet. Just bought another one for the vacation house.

Beginner Acoustic Guitars Value Packs

These value packs are like starter kits. They come with everything you could possibly need to start learning and playing the guitar. That means the guitar comes included too! I get a lot of emails asking me which is better — well, for a beginner, personally I like either the Ibanez or the Epiphone — if you have the extra cash, then definitely go for the Epiphone, but if not, the Ibanez is a pretty solid choice too! You can’t go wrong with these two choices with that kind of price tag.

Ibanez IJV50 JamPack Quick Start Natural

Overall Rating:
Ibanez IJV50 JamPack Quick Start Natural8.59

Ibanez IJV50 JamPack Quick Start Natural

One of the premier names in guitar manufacture, Ibanez has produced the Ibanez IJV50 JamPack Quick Start, a fantastically low-priced package with everything for the beginning guitarist. The V50 natural-finish acoustic guitar features a spruce top for fantastic tone. The package also includes an accurate electronic tuner, gig bag, guitar strap, and accessory pouch.

I was looking for an affordable guitar for a long time. Of course, I didn’t want to sacrifice quality which was very difficult to find. I also didn’t want a guitar that was small, as most were to fit the needs of kids. This is a full size guitar and fit all my needs PERFECTLY. It comes with everything you need to get started, and the sound is great which is surprising because of the price. If you’re a beginner, start out with this. It’s going to be hard to find something cheaper with this quality at this price.

Epiphone DR-1S Acoustic Player Pack Natural*

The Epiphone DR-1S Acoustic Player Pack is a sweetheart of a package that features a quality Epiphone DR-series guitar. You get a guitar with a solid spruce top and mahogany back, sides, and neck for resonant sound and smooth playability. It also has a rosewood fretboard and bridge and chrome hardware. To get you started with everything you need, the Epiphone Acoustic Player Pack comes with a gig bag, electronic tuner, strap, picks, and an instructional DVD.

At the beginning of this year I decided to go for an old dream of mine, I always felt the guitar in my heart. So I purchased an Epiphone guitar at first because my boyfriend who inspired me to take it up again played one and then later I discovered that it truley is a beautiful guitar. Alot of professional musicians have played it along with me and all have said it sounds great and rings true. I couldnt be any happier with it and it is a great value at a great price. My boyfriend is a professional musician and every since I bought this guitar he now plays mine instead of his, guess he likes mine better!
