People say you should never buy a guitar from someone who’s a jerk. And while there may not actually be any esoteric elements inherent to the personality of a guitar, the way people treat their guitars tends to be a reflection of the way they treat people. A guitar that is been cared for and treated properly is going to play better than one that has not. If an acoustic beginners guitar you are trying feels a bit off for any reason, go on to the next one.

If you are a beginner and can’t play worth a dime, ask the store associate to play the acoustic beginners guitar you are considering buying. An experienced salesperson will know that you, as a beginner, may not know how to play, but you know what you want a guitar to sound like once you have learned. Who knows, maybe they will be assisting the next great acoustic guitar player!
