Look out for a used Yamaha F310,
should be around RM300, best bang for buck beginner guitar!
Another one I'll recommend will be Compass acoustic guitar,
good sound and playable straight out from the box! flex.gif

+1 for Yamaha F310. Used to own one. Should up your budget to RM300 to get something which will last you a little longer, as after a couple of months you'll probably be quite unhappy with the RM200 subpar quality. F310 very popular beginner choice for good reason.

If you don't know how to play guitar, bring
a friend that knows how with you and
ask his opinion smile.gif Cause you may not know
whether the action is low enough or whether
the fretboard is comfy or not thumbup.gif
Your first guitar will probably last you for years to come,
so pick well cause a bad guitar will kill your interest in no time flex.gif

+1 too. I would not spend too much as a beginner. After learning it and confirming that I really wanna continue, then I would spend about RM1000+ for a solid top guitar. Won't get any guitar between RM400-900 unless the RM900+ is a solid top.

F310 price is around RM400+, find a 2nd hand one if you want it cheaper.

My advice is, with the limited budget range, just try to focus on a single goal. you can't have the best of both world (acoustic + pickup[electronic]) in a guitar with that amount of price. Even if they do exist, will be on the slightly bad quality (built) correct me if i'm wrong.

Try to focus on just purely guitar without pickups. can try local brands like kapok, cort (not sure can get with this price or not). My first guitar is a cap ayam. but the playability sucks major time. the action is too high and painful for young delicate beginners guitar. This will often set back a player just trying to learn. But some hardcore ppl like it that way cuz they say that will train their finger strength.

I upgraded to a decent guitar soon afterwards not long after my fingers start to swollen due to the high action. tongue.gif

I'll suggest you to up ur budget to 300++. The playability for the cheaper guitars are bad but that is still ok. Coz what u pay is what u get. My experience for those cheap guitars are the bridge. They tend to come off after a few years despite putting them away from direct sunlight etc. u'll have to spend about rm100 to repair which u can buy a decent rm400++ guitar at the 1st place.

both guitars are about the same as they are full laminated guitar. It's all based on brand preference for the 2 above. Ibanez brand is more towards the electric while Yamaha acoustic. but as both are budget, no difference, IMHO.

Another asking forever and never get anything thread in the make.

LAter someone will recommend u to increase budget a bit more for a solid top guitar. Then u will still asking the same question again n again.

Friend, get one that u like and start playing. U could have enjoy playing if u got urself a yamaha f310 since last month. Pls go out and try. See which one got ur heart.

There's no "BEST" acoustic guitar, everyone have different taste and opinion
so you will likely get very different answers... Ask a friend who knows how to
play guitar and ask him to accompany you to the shop and try,
Most importantly the guitar is comfortable and you like it smile.gif

for that price range, you should stay away form anything with pickups.
