So you’ve decided you want to buy your first beginner acoustic guitar. It can be frustrating trying to figure out which one to buy. With this post I’ve tried to make the process a little easier by doing a lot of research for you. All the beginner guitars reviewed for this post are from manufactures that have a reputation for quality and have been around a long time.

I would advise against buying the cheapest guitar you can find. Even though you’re beginning to play the guitar you want a decent sound. You want a low action so it’s easier to play and learn on.

Since the beginner guitar player is usually not going to go out and spend big money on a new acoustic guitar I’ve taken a look at some guitars under $400 dollars. 

They’re all top sellers at the online guitar shops and get high ratings from people that use them.  The reviews are in not particular order.  

1. Fender CD60 Dreadnought - The Fender CD 60 has a relatively low action which is good for the beginner guitar player. The dreadnought shape really brings out the low sounds so your chords sound deep and really rich.

The reviews around the internet are great on this guitar.

You might be skeptical that you can get a good guitar with a hard-shell case for $200 bucks. The fact that the Fender CD 60 comes with the case makes it a fantastic deal. 

2. Jasmine by Takamine S34C NEX Cutaway -  The Jasmine by the Takamine line of acoustic guitars has consistently been among the top brands for beginner guitar players.  

The Jasmine by Takamine S34C NEX Cutaway Acoustic Guitar is a great sounding beginner’s guitar for a reasonable price. Spruce top, nato back and sides, 21-fret mahogany neck, dark-stained rosewood bridge and fretboard, and covered chrome tuning machines. The wood looks nice, the sound and tone is pretty good and plays surprisingly loud.  

It’s a decent guitar for the money and you break away for the normal dreadnought guitar and get a cutaway. The Jasmine by Takamine S34C NEX Cutaway is an excellent choice for the beginner acoustic guitar player because it’s inexpensive yet highly playable. 

3. Washburn D10S - If you compare this guitar to others in the price range the Washburn D10S acoustic guitar is in the top of the class. This absolutely is a great beginner guitar or for someone who wants a good sounding guitar but can’t afford to break the bank. I read an article about the Washburn D10S in Acoustic Guitar Magazine and they rated it the best guitar for under 500 bucks!

4. Seagull the Original S6 -  This is another great beginner guitar. It’s consistently a top seller at all the online music stores and the Seagull S6 won the silver medal in Acoustic Guitar magazine’s player’s choice awards for 2008. It won the gold for “best beginner guitar” in 2006. 

The Seagull S6 cedar acoustic guitar is a great-looking a beginner guitar. It’s an award winner that has the perfect combination of precision and low price!

5. Yamaha F335 - This is a good guitar to start learning on and will be quite helpful for a beginner guitar player because the action is low. Action refers to the space between the strings and the fretboard and a low action is much easier to play for the beginner. 

The Yamaha F335 guitar sounds pretty good, plays good for the beginner guitar player, and the F335 is the easiest on the budget of the five.
