Hello guys, am looking for a new classical guitar for adult beginner (yes beginner who has no knowledge & has not really play or hold a guitar before).
What would be the recommendation on brand/model/size/price/etc? Budget probably around RM600-700+. How about Takamine classical entry level? Heard solid wood top is much more expensive?

Thank you.

Yamaha F310. (not classical, but very ideal for beginners)

why classical?

i hv takamine G series. sounds very nice.

it's an acoustic though, and in the range of rm900-1k.

cort

i have ovation cc24s, very good for beginner to intermediate https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3548002&hl=

the back body shape quite unique...

why the neck got paint chip?

Just normal playing, and the paint just wear off.. maybe manufacturing defect

Hi guys, thanks for the feedback.

What do u think about Takamine D36S? It costs about RM850. Bag is not included.

have u tried em at shops, i mean u gonna spend money on them why not try them, compare acousetic vs classical see which one feels better on your hands?

Yes, I tried it at the shop actually. The feel is ok but just not sure if it's ok for beginner when compared to other brands/models & also if the price is reasonable. I was also recommended with cheaper brands at 600-700 (also solid top).

Thanks.

So did you compare the feel of other brands and other types of guitars? eg. acoustic, 3/4 acoustics, for me when i was a beginner myself, i prefer the feel of acoustic vs the classical necks, cause i felt it was bulky, so if u spend over 500 for a guitar might as well go for the ones ur gonna be comfortable playing for a long time.

u said u are a beginner right? rm850 more than enough already, perhaps overkill.
