Advice on Buying There is a abundance of information now available in literature and on the Internet. Do not be intimidated or confused!
If you are able to pay more you should naturally expect a better instrument, but why? By appearance alone many instruments are very similar.
The main considerations when you are buying an instrument can be very simply put as follows:
1, The expertise of the maker and the degree to which the instruments are hand made are of major importance for the development of tonal and expressive qualities. This should also facilitate playing i.e. with a comfortably shaped neck, string height and greater attention to technical details.
2, The woods used will usually be of superior quality in a more expensive instrument. They will often have less laminated materials and the acoustic characteristics and ageing of the woods should be better. Rosewood is generally considered to be the preferred material for the back and sides of classical instruments.
3, An important consideration often overlooked is the care with which the shop you buy it from checks and selects the instrument in the first place don’t be tempted to buy any guitar that you have not played.
4, You should select a guitar with a TONE, PLAYABILITY, and APPEARANCE that suit you and your playing style.
