Question: What kind of acoustic guitar should I look at!?
I am taking a guitar lessons in school this semester and am looking at buying myself an inexpensive beginners acoustic guitar!. In class we play Yamaha Classical Nylon string guitars, but I don't know what kind I should buy!.
Steel or nylon string!? My teacher recommends nylon, but I think steel might be more versatile!. I want to play country music and music like Jack Johnson plays, and john mayor, etc!.
What brand should I get!? I don't want to spend more than $200 and I am looking at refurbished models to save more money : )

I think that is it, but you can give me any suggestions- I am open to anything!.
And I play the piano already if that helps!

Thanks so much!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Get a steel string Yamaha!. cheap, good sounding!. well built!. you'll have those dents in your fingers for a while as you get used to it, but they're so much louder than nylon string guitars!. Classical guitar usually means nylon string!. both are acoustic!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

look for a fender or a takamine!. they make cheap acoustic guitars that sound pretty decent!. and definitely go with steel string cuz they are way more versatile!. while you are at it try and find a guitar that has as many extra features as you can!. for example maybe try and get an acoustic/electric so you can plug into an amp if you ever need to, or maybe a built in tuner, just stuff like that so that you'll get the most for your money since you are on a budget and it is your first guitar!.
