Taylor’s A12e takes the words ‘entry-level’ and flips them upside down. Because, as entry-level beginners’ models go, this is more premium than the rest of the guitars on our chart.

The downside is you do pay a considerable sum for the pleasure! Still, the playability, comfort and tone on offer from is exceptional — as we highlight in the complete Taylor A12e review. It sports a Grand Concert body made from solid Sitka spruce on the top, with laminate sapele back and sides, along with a mahogany armrest for optimal ergonomics.

While electrics aren’t a necessity on beginner acoustics, we appreciate the quality of Taylor’s built in preamp, offering very simple controls and a handy built-in tuner. An exceptional choice.

The Seagull that began it all! The S6 is a popular steel-string acoustic that’s often touted as one of the best models for learning to play guitar — and we’re inclined to agree.

Crafted with quality body woods, it features a solid cedar top with a wild cherry back and produces a dynamic sound with a good mid-range that projects wonderfully. Sitting at the top is a distinctive, tapered headstock, which allows for greater tuning stability, while the hand-finished silver leaf maple neck — with rosewood fretboard — is slightly fatter than other acoustics, and is great for fingerstyle guitarists.

While the price tag may seem a little high for a beginners model, it’s a guitar that will keep you playing for years. Check out our full review of this super Seagull.

Yamaha’s FG series has been around for fifty years and remains one of the best-selling acoustic to ever hit the market. So it’s no surprise that we happily recommend the FG830 to beginners looking for an attractive, comfortable and great sounding guitar at a very reasonable price.

The guitar features a naturally finished solid spruce top with rosewood back and sides, as well as a nato neck, smooth rosewood fretboard, and 20 frets. For an affordable guitar, the sound is surprisingly high-end, with excellent projection, a rich tone, and good dynamic range.

It’s comfortable to hold and very slick to play, while the advanced scalloped bracing enhances the sound quality and adds reinforcement to the soundboard. Be sure to check out our full review of the FG830.

If you’re on a budget and looking for your first guitar, or just something new to practice on, the Bristol BD-16 from Blueridge packs quality sound and feel into a very affordable acoustic. The guitar sports a sturdy mahogany back and neck, with a spruce top — it feels robust, but is light to hold.

It’s naturally finished and shows off good craftsmanship, while the slim mahogany neck features a smooth rosewood fretboard, and is fast and fun to play.

The mahogany and spruce combine for a bright, full-sounding guitar with excellent projection. For such a good price, the comfort and the playability on offer make the BD-16 a winner for any beginner. Check out the full review of this superb model.

Part of Fender’s Classic Design series, the CD-60S is a good-looking, comfortable dreadnought guitar, with a tone that really impresses — as we highlight in the full CD-60S review.

With Fender’s trademark quality and sleek playability, this model features the classic pairing of solid spruce on the top, with mahogany back and sides. The ‘Easy-to-Play’ mahogany neck is fitted with a 20-fret rosewood fretboard that is rolled for added comfort. The hardware is good for the price, and comes with several convenient accessories (depending on the marketplace you purchase from).

The tone is well-balanced between bright and warm, and offers a robust projection — great for strumming and fingerstyle. A real solid offering from Fender, but would you expect anything less?
