U go try it and feel it urself. If u feel comfortable then just buy it. Most of the guitars priced below rm400 are more or less the same especially for those who've played higher range once.

My 2 cents, just stick to ur budget.

Rm300-400 can buy ya brand new guitar already. The question now is, do u intend to buy one guitar that can last u up to intermediate level or u start with cheap ones and will only upgrade ur guitar then. If u can fork out rm700 then u can go for a solid top acoustic.

Basic math:

If u upgrade later, ur total cost that u will spend on guitars would be
Cheapo guitar RM400 + solid top guitar RM700 =RM1100

Buy a solid top guitar straight = RM700

P.s: better quality/sounding guitar will motivate u to practise and play more.

The feel on your hand is important. Farida, Cort, custom, l.luthier make very decent solid top. Decide your budget and try them to find the best.

My all time favourite is cort earth mini. But it is not a full size guitar so it is not for everyone.

I own a fender cs240sce before. To be honest, i feel fender is overpriced in acoustic. For the same thing u pay much lesser with the brands i meantion before.

After all, the advise still, test the guitar before your purchase. Eventho you know nothing about guitar. But you can feel which one speaks to u.
