I'm interested in learning to play the guitar and want to know what the best guitar for a beginner is. I started to learn how to play a couple years back but I had recently had surgery on my middle left finger and had to stop. The very tip of my finger got cut off resulting in a fat finger tip. I've been told that the strings of some guitars are farther apart which I believe would make it easier for my fat finger. Also, I have a very limited budget and do not wish to spend very much. I like a wide variety of music ranging from country to alternative rock. I would like to know which guitar I should choose. Thank You.

I've been told that the strings of some guitars are farther apart which I believe would make it easier for my fat finger. Seagull and Art & Lutherie are owned by Godin Guitar of Canada. They make reasonably priced, excellent-sounding guitars made from huge cedar and spruce logs 6 feet wide (centuries old) with solid wood tops. I own 3 Seagulls myself. If you're looking for an acoustic guitar with a bit wider neck width (standard width is 1-11/16"), check out Art & Lutherie, which sell guitars in the $250-$300 range. Since you play rock and country, you'll probably want a spruce top dreadnought sized guitar. When you invest in a solid top guitar, it sounds better and better the more you play it. Here's one that has a solid spruce top and a 1-3/4" neck width for about $279: http://elderly.com/new_instruments/items/ALDS-TRD.htm  Last edited on Thu Feb 7th, 2008 03:52 pm by Will ____________________ Will http://ezfolk.com/audio/bands/297/ Loose Change & Friends http://ezfolk.com/audio/bands/245/ http://loosechangeandfriends.com The Earth Tones http://ezfolk.com/audio/bands/337/ A Bunch Of Coconuts http://abunchofcoconuts.com |
