Hi all. I’m in the market for an inexpensive acoustic to learn on. I have no plans to become a professional just hack and bash around a campfire occasionally and possibly in the future “plug in” with my kids. A young guitarist and drummer.
I have read here and other places the real value in the Canadian “godin” family of acoustics. One of these with a pickup would be my choice but I have recently annihilated the family budget on new drums and cymbals for my oldest.
Considering this and the fact that I would like to begin learning sooner than later I need a really really cheap guitar.
I have noticed inexpensive Yamahas in the music store at about 150 or a little more.
What is the real downside to one at this price point?
Lack of sound?
Lack of Features?
Poor construction?
Poor Materials?
I guess I’d go into this knowing if I do get into it I’d have to “upgrade” in the future but would a guitar of level hold me back in some way?
Thanks for any help
