How to Buy a Classical Guitar

Page 1

Ok, many people think that you can just order a guitar off the internet and it will be fine.... This you can do, but it is not recommended, especially if you do not know what you want. Try to go into local stores. You not only get to try the guitars out, but you get the expert opinions of those who work at the store.


Here is the best way to pick out a classical guitar.

Go into a store to pick one out. Do not order over the internet. If youre local music store does not have anything to your liking, go to another store in another area. When you order a guitar over the internet, you really do not know what you are getting yourself into. You should also not rule out the possibility of getting a custom-made instrument instead of an average, so-so brand if you can afford it.


Try out the guitar. If you see one you like, try it out. Some of the prettier-looking guitars do not have the best of sound, and sound is the most important thing. Any store should let you try them out. Just ask the manager or clerk if it is okay first.

Do your research. Know what you are looking towards buying. There are many different woods, finishes and other options to choose from with classical guitars.


Take a friend or someone who knows guitars. If you are just starting out on guitar, it is easiest to get the opinion of someone who is more experienced. They know that they are doing because they have bought a guitar themselves. If you cannot bring someone along with you, ask the store clerk their opinion on the guitar. Be careful because sometimes all they want is a sale. If you do not think the store clerk's opinion is trustworthy, write down the make and model of the guitar and check online reviews.
