My first guitar! It was important at the beginning to buy a good guitar, so I can never give the guitar to blame for a bad sound. The price / performance ratio is good. Why am I went straight to an acoustic guitar, which will be harder to play as a classical guitar? Because I wanted to practice on the same instrument that I want to play eventually. Yes, the fingers do off a bit at the beginning and slight corneal forms. But I will be rewarded by the good sound. As before, the best guitar will not diminish the daily practice and perseverance is playing guitar a real virtue. But the grip on this beautiful instrument is easier for me because I like to hear the beautiful sound also. Even if I do not play, this guitar looks very decorative out in my living room. I highly recommend purchasing this guitar and give the games not to Practice every day, quickly learns the handles to play blind and looking at youtube by Justin Guitar Beginner and because you have a good teacher online!
