Pro Buying Tips
Set a realistic budget
You don’t need to spend a fortune on a first guitar. Well-made beginner instruments are widely available, so decide on a budget before you start comparing models.
Choose the right size and style
Body size, neck shape and string type all affect comfort. Smaller bodies and lighter strings are often easier for beginners and younger players.
Factor in the essentials
A tuner, spare strings, picks, a strap and a case or gig bag all add to the cost, so check what is included before you buy.
