Ok.... I think you got a few terms mixed up. Hang on while I try to Explain.....

An Acoustic guitar, is a guitar that doesn't require a separate amplifier to produce sound and does so naturally. It's further divided into 2 main categories:
Folk Guitar:


And the Classical Guitar:


And Electric guitar, is a guitar that requires amplification (ie: Connected to a speaker) to re-produce sound...



Again, I'm putting this in simplest terms.

so for a newbie, safer to settle down on a classical guitar?

depends on your musical taste and direction.
what kind of songs you want to play?

I think acoustic guitar sounds nice ^^ the one YUI plays? but I wanna learn from scratch. so taking classical or acoustic?

Acoustic. Folk Acoustics will do you good.

Yup. I would start off with Folk Acoustic as well.
It strengthens your fingers and your chords will be better in the future.

+1 I started off with the acoustic guitar too.
It's nice when you can play and sing along to your favourite songs. That is good enough motivation to keep you interested.

acoustic guitar then! thanks yeah!

hi, i just taking a few steps forward in guitar world. how do u all actually take care of your guitar =x. i meant how to maintain the humidity and stuffs...

i started classical guitar straight haha

usually if ure nt playin ur gitar u shd keep it in a gitar bag 2 prevent the moisture n air from rusting ur frets strings, pickups n all dat metal stuff on ur gitar.n oso u shd send it once every mebe say 2-3 mnths for servicing at a shop or service it urself which is wa t i do.my 2cents

i started with acoustic folk as well. now moving on to electric.

lot of kids bought a kapok classical guitar to play pop songs nowadays (hei i was one either)

did play acoustic guitar after that.

now i played electric guitar either. started with Aria HSS, then an SX Les Paul and now got myself a Squire Tele after the neck of my SX break.
rarely touch my acoustic guitar since then. figured out my Tele was quite bright sounding and the tonal range was big either.
the magic of the single coils pickup were there too.

but my only complain is that the power chords when i played on the distortion was not as fat as the les paul.
is that usual problem with a single coil guitar? i played on DS-1.
Now had to play with both amplifier distortion and the DS-1 to get the gain i wanted.
Comment?

yeah i believe it's because the single coil.. i own a squire tele too but its a custom model with 2 humbuckers.. i can get damn hot distortion with it.. maybe u can swap ur pups.. chk out seymour duncan tone wizard here

to put a humbucker on my single coil slots? is that possible.
or is it like the one malmsteen used?

there are variety of pickups in the market and there are also single coil size humbuckers that can fit into ur tele.. the sd tone wizard link i mentioned before is made to help u to get the tone u want for your guitar by recommending a list of pickups combo.. google man and u shall find your answer and... err... GAS??
