What is the best beginner acoustic guitar to buy?
My aim is to learn the acoustic guitar and then move on to the bass guitar.
I was thinking about buying the Yamaha FG700 acoustic but then i was given advice saying that Yamaha is crap and the Johnson acoustic guitars are better and cheaper.
I want to make sure that when i finally buy my acoustic guitar, i don't start wishing i bought a different one.
Answer:
No matter what guitar you buy, you're probably going to wish you'd bought a different one. It's the nature of things.
That said, I have zero experience with Johnson guitars (never heard of them). But I've played some good Samicks and Corts. Then there's the low-end Epiphones and Squires (owned by Gibson and Fender, respectively). Of course, if you'd like to try something totally different, you may look at an Applause by Ovation -- they have a round, Lycra back, which greatly changes the feel of them. Although a bit of warning: people generally either love or loathe round-back guitars; there's very little middle-ground.
The key is to play as many as you can lay your hands on and find out which guitar feels the most comfortable in your hands; if it's not comfortable to play, then you're never going to play it. Then eventually you can move up and get a Gibson, Taylor, or Martin (the real King of the Acoustic Guitar).

Purchasing Electric Acoustic Guitar Is Definitely A Fabulous Pick
In the first place we should explain that an electric acoustic guitar is not the same as the electro acoustic or semi acoustic guitar. The main reason for this is that electric acoustic guitars can be played in their own right without the use of an amp. Generally a semi or electro acoustic will require amplification because the sound box will be inadequate to provide any sort of performance levels. An electric acoustic guitar tends to look exactly the same as an acoustic guitar, but it will have some form of pick up built into the electric acoustic guitar. These can be fitted after market too and are available to buy relatively easily, having said that having these constructed into your guitar in the construction process commonly will mean a neater finished look. A guitar cable will normally connect into your strap connection on the actual body of the instrument.
Most electric acoustic guitars will certainly have an equalizer topside of the instrument so your sound levels could possibly be adjusted when practicing by way of a typical amplification setup. Important things such as the volume, bass, treble and even presence can certainly be adjusted simply in the course of performing, and this can be an obvious bonus to the single performer. An equalizer is commonly electric battery run, using a 9 volt which certainly can last for years. Nevertheless, don't neglect to have a spare as with the majority of things, if it is planning to go it is likely to be at probably the most inopportune moment.
The only real discernable difference between an electric acoustic guitar and the acoustic type would be the simple fact it may be amplified and for that reason end up being louder during performance or perhaps have electric acoustic guitar effects included by using pedals or perhaps modelers. The actual playability of your electric acoustic will not be affected the slightest bit.So this kind of acoustic guitar is an excellent choice for both experts and newbie guitar players due to the fact effectively you can get yourself the very best of all possible worlds. A guitar sound amplified or maybe effected can certainly be produced to sound like an electric six string, and without using the amp it may take up it's more common place as the rhythm accompaniment guitar.
Overall, should you be planning on getting an electric acoustic guitar, and truth be told there are literally heaps available, look at selecting an electric acoustic option. It can be more pricey, however in the end could possibly provide you adequate adaptability and options which a typical non electric acoustic guitar potentially may well not.
