I am a newbie in guitars' world,
I am trying to get a guitar first, and learn it by myself later. So getting the right guitar is very important.

Where can i buy that guitar ? any recommended shop ? I am staying in Klang Valley.
Budget around RM 300, is that enough for beginner ?

Thanks alot

i think those are normal draught, not sure how to spell, pretty common.

rm300 can try push a lil to get yamaha's f320.

im nt good enuf to tell wat wood those guitar is made from

acoustic guitar a.k.a folk guitar...

aka steel string.

300 beginner quite ok

so i should get the yamaha f310 ?

will survey at local music shops soon

the 2nd vid is a dreadnought guitar. be forewarned however, if you've never played that kind of guitar, you better test it first. dreadnaught has huge bodies and thin necks. some people may find it uncomfortable(me included).

rm300++ can get you a decent dreadnaught.

the 1st is classical(nylon strings) and 3rd is a grand concert(steel strings).

all of these are acoustics, btw.

the f-310 should cost you about rm350++

but the dreadnoughts produce the best sound (my taste) then all of the other bodies. Rich in bass, loud enough.

TS, why not just settle for a kapok?

for me,the dreadnaught is teh best according to my taste la of course...
got mine for rm 300++,but i'm staying in kelantan

Dreadnoughts usually don't sound as good as Grand Auditorium models in finger picking IMHO.
I personally prefer Grand Auditorium models, is bass is almost as powerful as dreadnoughts but it doesn't drown the high notes which shimmers very nicely.
But then again it might be because the GA model I tested was a Taylor 414ce so....

oh ya, fingerpickers like Auditorium and concert shapes more. Strummers and flatpickers love dreadnoughts and jumbos. I don't know why.
but my taste will still be a dreadnought after comparing Taylor 300 series

Wats a grand auditorium and wats a dreadnought??

yeah, i don't deny that. but to me, comfortability is more important. i can't even play 1 song without any mistake on a dreadnaught, even songs that i know by heart. anyway, to each his own .

Funnily enough, I'm now enjoying my friend's Nylon stringed classical acoustic. I find it way more comfortable for more technical work now.......
Only use my folk acoustic for "cowboy chord" songs now.

On a side note, I wonder if you guys have seen any decent Gibson acoustic copies besides Epiphones? Like the Hummingbird, Dove, J-45, or Grand Jumbo copies.

there's one shop in Subang USJ that were selling Gibson copys, especially the jumbos with the misai at the bridge. It sure looked stunning but after having the guitar neck in my hands, I didn't even bother to play a single note because the neck was horrible. I feel the frets and imagine sliding...ouch. The sales person kept saying it's AAA wood lah, but no matter how good a guitar can sound, if you feel uncomfortable with it, just leave it.

That's a pity. I played an SX acoustic that looks a bit like the J-45 but also it was in a very very bad condition. I would have bought it if it wasn't so beat up , because it's kinda cheap.
