    Do not get anything from Fender or Rouge.

    For a beginner you want something with a slim neck that makes it easier to get your hands on the frets.

    Some of the best slim necks are on guitars made by Ibanez.

    For 150 you can get a very good guitar by them.

    If not Ibanez, also try Epiphone.

    Make sure you sign up for lessons, there are some really great books and videos and online resources but there is no substitute for in person instruction.

    Do not expect to be proficent in a short period of time, you get results based on the ammount of effort you put in!

    For a beginner you want something with a slim neck that makes it easier to get your hands on the frets.

    I reccomend using the same style instument that you eventually want to play. Insisting on a slim neck limits you to nylon stringed guitars without truss rods.

    Of the brands already mentioned The only one I’d stay away from is Rogue.

    dash- thanks for answering… so i actually only wana play steel strings cuz i think it sounds nicer…

    crisis of the week- i already had a couple of lessons and bh am getting pretty comfterble with switching cords and am learning picking now which is rlly hard…

    the reason i specifically want this one and no other is beacuse it has a satin finish and is matte and all other matte ones are not n my price range.

    Good recommendation by crisis. Also, I’d suggest looking into a brand called Laguna, which is owned by Guitar Center. I’ve played them and I think they feel great. Otherwise, I’d go with an Ibanez or Yamaha (for that kind of money).

    hi middlepath-

    #902354

    Why don’t you call “musicians friend” or “music 123” speak to the guys there. maybe there are other matte finish guitars

    You may want to also check out their used guitar section

    I dont know this specific guitar, but personally I don’t like the sound low priced fender acoustic guitars that Ive played also I was told by a popular guitar teacher in to stay away from them. however They are as playable as any other

    and if you are not looking for great sound you can get it
