Question:I just want a start-up acoustic guitar for now. Once I get better i'll probably try to buy a better quality guitar but for now what are the best acoustic guitars for under $100( preferably $60-$80). The walmart guitar is $60 but I feel there is a better guitar out there for a similar amount.

I've played and taught classical and acoustic guitar for almost forty years and have yet to hear one for that price that sounded good....the best one that I ever hear that's inexpensive is the Yamaha acoustic, it's $200.00 even less when one sale...and Guitar Center is very good at giving you a deal if you ask. This guitar is one of the better ones for that price, go and play them and you'll see what I mean, now remember if they have five Yamaha's try then all as they all have a little different sound, and make sure that you play the notes up and down the fingerboard to check for buzz's, check the action also, make sure that the strings aren't to hard to press down. Also ask if they sell second hand Yamaha's, some of the Guitar Centers do. If you find one that you like ask the clerk to play it for you to make sure that it's the sound that you like. All the very cheep guitars are so bad that I'd advise you to wait until you save more money, at least the $200.00 for the Yamaha. Some of these guitars that they sell at Sears and Penny's are so bad to play, not only do they sound bad but the strings sit so high off the fingerboard I don't know how anyone can even play them. If the Guitar Center doesn't have any second hand Yamaha's try Sam Ash, or a Pawn shop...good luck...bye !!!!!! I hope I helped you with this, I'd hate to see you get something that sounds horrible and is almost imposable to play !!!!!!!!!

guitars from walmart are horrible
but its hard to find a good guitar without paying more than 100 dollars
i personally like fender guitars of course i have an electric but they have acoustics too try them they might have what ur looking for
