I’m new in this whole guitar thing. I’m buying my own tomorrow and I have no idea what to get, either a classical acoustic guitar or just a normal acoustic guitar. What’s a better buy? Please help me. I’m just a beginner.
Thnx in advance.!
I was in the same situation as you last year. I went with a Classical Guitar, BIG mistake. Classical guitars are not bad by any means, it just wasn’t the right guitar for the music I play. I play modern music such as Jack Johnson, John Mayer, etc. I now have a regular acoustic guitar, and the songs I play sound a lot better. A regular acoustic also has more frets on it. Hope I helped!
Neither is better than the other; they’re just really different. A classical guitar has big, soft nylon strings and a really wide, flat neck. An acoustic guitar has steel strings and a neck that’s more like an electric guitar. If you like classical guitar, Spanish guitar, Andres Segovia, then get a classical. Otherwise, get an acoustic with steel strings. There are more choices, and it’ll put you in a better position if you ever want to play electric.
Well, duh, classical guitars are used in classical music. If you play anything else, a normal Acoustic (or Electric) is the way to go.
