hi, i planning to buy acoustic guitar which is around RM300..
i heard many ppl said YAMAHA is good..
so which model is cheap and sounds quality are good??
please recommend me..thank u =)
Yamaha does make very good budget guitars....with one caveat:
With the exception of their Japanese-made models (e.g. 26/36 models from the L series, high-end Compass, etc.) every other steel-string Yamaha I've seen had a bad
neck angle. For those unfamiliar the term, no, I am not talking about neck
relief, which can be easily adjusted via the truss rod. A bad neck angle is much more serious and permanent. More specifics at frets.com:
Neck Angle at Frets.comIn short, what this means is that it will be difficult to adjust the guitar action to a suitably low height for more advanced playing (especially fingerstyle) without sacrificing tone. Even their mid-range models (I have a RM2800 LL16) suffer from the same problem, although they sound and play great.
My advice to you (and anyone else who's new to acoustic guitars) is to keep neck angle in mind when shopping for instruments. Playability makes a
huge difference in your advancement as a guitarist. If possible, get a guitar which
sounds good and has a healthy neck angle, although this may not be easy to do in Malaysia since our choices are very limited
