The cost of material used is one reason for the cost of the instrument. Part of the final cost is wood, though not all guitars are made from wood. Some are graphite or plastic. However, the reason an acoustic guitar sounds the way it does is because of the wood it is crafted from. The sound of a guitar that is not made out of wood may cause you to give up learning because of the poor sound quality. A plastic guitar that you probably won't like isn't a wise investment. A better option would be to buy a cheap acoustic guitar made out of wood.

Although the Seagull S6 isn't the most cheap acoustic guitar going, it does offer fantastic value for the money that you spend on it. This guitar is a great start for any beginner. It creates a beautiful sound with its solid cedar top and mahogany sides and back. Even professionals will keep one of these in their collections among their more expensive ones. It's a guitar that anyone who is serious about becoming a guitar player should look into investing in. It costs around $400 to $500, but you'll understand the great value of it once you get into playing. A great place to look for special deals and compare prices for this guitar would be to do a little web browsing about it.

The Yamaha F310 is a fine lower-priced option if you're seeking a cheap acoustic guitar. Its top is manufactured from solid spruce, while its back and sides are crafted out of mahogany. At $150 to $200, it is friendly to your pocketbook and it is very popular with serious new guitar students.

The next price range for cheap acoustic guitars is from $120-$150. A great selection in this category is the Epiphone DR-100. This guitar has a high quality spruce top with mahogany back and sides. This is a student instrument and you will have to upgrade at some point. If you don't know how serious your interest in the guitar really is, then this is a good choice if you still want to obtain a decent quality guitar at a low price.

If you are looking for a cheap acoustic guitar for less than $100, you will not find one of decent quality. At that price range, most guitars are scarcely playable. Some people who try to learn to play soon quit after trying to deal with a cheap guitar. They are just too shoddily made. If you have been thinking of getting a cheap guitar for yourself, or if you are thinking of getting one for your child, don't bother with the guitars in the $100 or less range. It will just turn you off from guitar playing.

You are much better off eschewing the $80 guitar from the bargain bin and purchasing a used guitar. Second-hand guitars have a wealth and beauty all their own and you may actually like it better than one that is brand new. Go to a guitar store that offers a wide range of second-hand cheap acoustic guitars and look around and play them until you find the one that is perfect for you.

A solid wood top is a must-have, even for a cheap acoustic guitar. A guitar with with a solid wood top, instead of a plywood top, has a richer and fuller tone. A guitar with also the sides and the back made of solid wood is even better, if your budget allows it.
