Music Banter - View Single Post - Beginners acoustic guitar advice on what to get

I got a Yamaha FG730 - It's my first steel stringed guitar, and I'm really happy with it. The Neck isn't too thick or wide, so it's quite easy to finger it. I can't remember the exact price but I think it's around 300$ (don't take my word for it though, I don't live in the US.) The biggest tip anyone can give you though is - make sure you play the guitar before you get it, even though you may not know a lot about guitars you'll know if you like the feel of it. Pick out a few models that seem like valid options, and go to your local store and browse around and also ask for their opinion.

Good luck and hang in there in the start - it gets better
