Luna Guitars

For the first time buyer, the thought of buying a guitar can be overwhelming. There are numerous decisions to make, and without guidance, the novice won’t have the information they need to make a smart purchase. The following resources should help walk beginners through the process of choosing the correct instrument for them, at a price within their budget.

Seagull S6

These Canadian-made instruments are terrific guitars - very highly regarded, both for their beautiful sound, and their excellent value. The S6 features a solid cedar top, and mahogany back and sides. Although the price may be slightly above what some might be willing to pay for a first guitar, it should be considered an investment.

Yamaha FG700S

Perhaps not in the same league as the Seagull, the FG700S is still a solid beginner instrument, and for the price (significantly cheaper than the S6), it’s a good value. Guitar features a solid sitka spruce top, with nato back and sides.

Takamine G-340

This beginner model Takamine guitar features a laminated spruce top. Although it clearly isn’t on par with some of the higher end Takamine guitars, the general consensus is the G-340 offers a pretty good bang for the buck.

Fender CD-140S

This lower cost Fender acoustic boasts a solid spruce top, with laminated mahogany back and sides. Cheaper Fender products tend to be occasionally guilty of lackluster workmanship, but, considering the solid spruce top, this guitar could be attractive to newbies.
