  Best acoustic guitar for a beginner?

  2 0 What is your budget? What is your current guitar (brand name)? And how is it broken? It could be that what you need to do is have it "set up." This involves making sure the neck has the right amount of "relief" (which is the bend in the neck), checking the saddle that the strings go over so it's not so high and the slots in the nut (where the strings go through to the tuners). This would probably be all of your budget but you would enjoy playing much better. It's a big reason beginners quit If it's truly broken, I would go to a larger retailer (Guitar Center or American Music). They should have a few guitars at about $99. Epiphone or Yamaha usually are pretty good bets for a beginner. Try them out...because you are looking for how it feels on your fingers (the set up). Once you find one you like, try another of the exact same one (they'll have a few in stock). One might feel better than the other. Buy it and replace the strings...dirty strings are another reason why beginning guitarists quit because they hurt. I hope this helps.
