Beginning guitar players often ask, “should I start with acoustic or electric?” and the advice they get varies. Most beginners at the guitar will start on an acoustic, and acoustic guitars are now outselling electric guitars. Even though acoustic guitars can be a little bit more difficult to play, they are simpler and easier to understand. They require no electronics, wires, dials or knobs. They have a tone that sounds good in almost any style of music, and a timeless appeal.
There is a (somewhat flawed) theory that beginners should learn this instrument first. This theory is based on the presumption that new players must be shielded from the discomfort of painful fingertips, and the plastic strings of this instrument are indeed easier to work with than steel. However, it is difficult to master the classical guitar. In the hands of a beginner, the nylon string guitar will sound more like a toy than an instrument, whereas steel strings are more forgiving and will reward even beginners with sweet sounds.
Nylon-string guitars are, side-by-side, more expensive than equivalent steel string guitars and have fewer options commercially available, owing to its comparatively weaker popularity. In addition, it is typically used for a narrower range of repertoire revolving around classical, Spanish and Latin guitar styles. This would be a great choice if your interest is primarily in those styles, otherwise you should look for a steel-string guitar, which is what most people today play.

*It is recommended that beginning acoustic guitar players use light gauge strings. This will help you avoid discomfort. As you advance, you may find that you prefer bigger strings. In addition, strings can be detuned a full step to make them even easier to play.
Note: Electric guitars are used to play every style, but especially blues, funk, rock and metal, which use specialized electric guitar techniques and effects.
When in doubt, you should follow your passion: choose whichever guitar you’re more interested in. If you remain indifferent after reading this it is probably best to start with an acoustic guitar. Acoustic guitars are by far the most common instrument for beginning guitar players to use.

We stock a wide range of guitars here at , and it can be difficult to find the best starter instrument. In this blog, I will be explaining the difference between them, and which ones you should be looking at! Classical Guitars If you have never played the guitar before, and you are looking for one that will be able to handle lessons and help you grasp the basics, we recommend classical guitars. The main reason for this is due to the strings believe it or not. The classical models all have nylon strings, which are brilliant for your fingers. You find that steel strings (found on acoustic guitars) can dig in to your fingertips, which can lead to some people not practicing. The nylon strings are a lot more finger friendly, meaning your first few weeks of learning won’t be painful! A good classical guitar to get started with is the Valencia model, as it includes a cover and a tuner! It is available in ½, ¼, ¾ and full size! Acoustic Guitars After having a classical guitar, some players then like to move up to an acoustic guitar. These are the more common sort of guitars that we sell, as they are the more traditional looking ones. These are great for once you have built up your fingertips, as the strings are steel instead of nylon. If you are looking for your first acoustic guitar, I’d look at the Rocket XF Series, as they are brilliant for beginners of all ages, but especially children. They come with a capo, plectrum, strap and bag, so you can get playing instantly. Our guitars are mostly available in ¾ and full size. Electric Guitars
Electric models are also very common beginner guitars. One of our most popular models is the 3rd Avenue Electric Guitar, which is available in either ¾ or full size. This guitar is perfect for new players, and includes a bag, capo, plectrum and strap. They are good for taking to lessons and practicing at home, as you can practice quietly and have the capability of plugging it into an amp for extra volume! I hope this has given you a brief insight into the different types of guitar you may be looking at for a beginner player.
