Best acoustic guitar for beginners?

Looking for acoustic guitar that is easy for beginners. Doesn’t need to be anything grand just something easy and comfortable for me to start out with. I am a small guy, not very long arms or hands. What should I look for in a guitar? Any brands you recommend?

Guitar size matters for small guys?

Thanks! - josh

At the music store, I spent some time playing a Yamaha CSF1M and did not want to put it down...If you like a small guitar...there's other's, they're all nice....

BTW - best thing to do is go and play a few, go home, then go back again...so you make the best choice...

Seagull guitars are nice with looser string tension, also Taylor Guitars are great too.

@Iwillwait thanks!

@JS1992 welcome. I would also check out Dean D90, one of the best sounding acoustics out there that are not in the thousands of dollars range.

@Iwillwait will check it out! Thanks!

Gibson or Epiphone SG. 3/4 size Fenders are too hard to play. Any Fender is not a good starting guitar. This was my 2nd guitar after making the mistake of buying a Fender, sorry I can't find a pic of it

@DropTopDig thanks! 3/4 size of Gibson or epiphone recommended?

@JS1992 I f you can find them. The guitars I mentioned are all electric, much easier to play than an acoustic btw

@DropTopDig oh okay thanks!

Ibanez AW series acoustic. That's a full-scale guitar, see how that fits your hands.

@uncalled4 awesome! Thanks for the info!

uncalled4 · 56-60, M

@JS1992 Yep, go play one and report back. The best part of buying affordable stuff is that you stand to lose less if you sell.

JS1992 · 31-35, M

@uncalled4 sure thing! I’ll let you know 👍
