can anyone recommend a good beginner acoustic? id like either a grand auditorium or dreadnought, and should i get steel or nylon strings?

#795553671773290536 has some good recommendations. Can't really go wrong with a Yamaha FG800 or FS800 and a good setup

#

Steel or nylon just depends on the sound you like or what you're interested in playing

#

If nylon then you would be looking for a classical guitar

#

if i am interested in rock/metal on the acoustic, is steel better?

worthy ibex
#

Probably more of a familiar sound

#

Or maybe you would want an electric?

#

id like to learn an acoustic first because its cheaper overall, and i heard its harder than an electric so i would be better when i shift over

#

plus, theres an old electric in my house that just needs to be restrung and it should work i hope

#

its a squier strat

worthy ibex
#

Sure, whatever gets you most motivated to learn is good 🙂

thanks for the recs, u got any more tips on picking a guitar?

Whatever you buy is going to need something called a setup. It's probably the most important thing for a new guitar to play well, no matter what you buy

#

I don't think you can go wrong with a Yamaha FG800 or FS800 depending on the size you like

#

And you can always look used/local because it's a common guitar you can find used
