I'm really set on learning how to play (so i can annoyserenade my friends with Smiths tunes and the like) but i do not know about guitars, or know anyone who plays, so i'm a little lost as to what is crap... and what is not. I've read up on it, but that can only get you so far.
I'm interested in this particular Yamaha 403/4" Acoustic Folk Guitar. It's got:
black pick guard (duhh)
spruce soundboard
rosewood fingerboard
meranti wood back and sides
nato steel-reinforced adjustable neck
I hear spruce is the best kind of wood to have, and the adjustable neck is important (as the wood will warp over time) the only thing i DO NOT KNOW is if the top is solid or laminated.
I'm actually going to buy it through the Sears catologue (Shut up, don't laugh) as i work at Sears so my discount applies. I mean, i don't want to shell out 2-weeks worth of pay on something i suck terribly at and thus give up on. Expensive kindling i do not want.
Any advice is greatly appreciated
PS: And am i better off going Classical instead?
