Where is a good place to go to get a good guitar for a novice? Should I go to a music store, or might I find a nice acoustic at a pawn shop?
Seriously consider buying an Art & Lutherie or Simon & Patrick. You can buy a great guitar for $400. I guarantee you won't find a better sounding guitar than these (for a $400 guitar). It is a Canadian company and the quality is amazing. It sounds like most guitars worth twice as much. Try Guitarworks. I can't believe I just said that as I have long been a Long & McQuade guy but the selection of A & L and S & P guitars, especially at the 16th ave location is amazing.
