Hi thank you once again, that’s amazing advice and has eased my mind. I have messaged the seller. They are saying in need or emergency funds. Will wait and see

I have seen a private sale nearby for a Taylor GS mini mahogany for £400. Apparently only a few months old from new and in perfect condition. Only new to guitar but wanting to go down the acoustic route. Is it worth entertaining for that price? Looked at many reviews and this one is one of the ones I was looking to purchase from new (if it felt right in the shop). Is lack of warranty anything to worry about? I am currently using a hired electric guitar

Thank you

Hi, beginner here, been learning for about 2 months now. Considering a Yamaha APX 600. Currently learning on a squire bullet Strat but want to go down the acoustic route. Is the action height anything to be concerned about on the Yamaha bearing in mind I’m only a beginner so won’t really know the difference yet between a high and low action. Also considering the GS mini. Thank you

You were right about letting something rest you were having difficulty with. Come back to the 3 finger C major chord tonight and I’m nailing it every time

That’s great thank you, extremely helpful. Over thinking is what I do best hence just keeping things simple with the acoustic. Don’t get me started on the C major chord I was trying last night. Oh crikey, what I hash I made of that. Think I’ll just stick with the the two fingers easy C for now

Is a 3/4 guitar out of the question? Was just looking at the Taylor GS mini. Thought these were more of a kids guitar rather than for a 47 year old male. I struggle fitting all three fingers on the same Fret for the A cord now so with the frets being closer together on a 3/4, would this cause any issues? I know it would be a case of trying it, i’m just bouncing around ideas.

So really then you are better learning on acoustic? Having tried it (just for a matter of minutes) it felt totally different. Whereas I’m always looking at where I am placing my fingers on the frets with an electric, I found i couldn’t see my fingers on the APX600 without either tilting the guitar or leaning really forward. I only tried it for a few minutes and it’s the first time I’ve ever held an acoustic.

And thank you for the welcome

Tbf, I just want to keep things as simple as possible. That’s why I like the idea of acoustic for its simplicity.

I’ve been learning to play for about 6 weeks now on a hired electric Stratocaster. My aim has always been to transition to acoustic at some point but I wasn’t sure where this journey would take me. Six weeks in and I love it. I know I still have a long way to go. I visited GuitarGuitar yesterday and tried a Yamaha APX600. Feels very different to electric. Am I best sticking with electric for the moment or move over to something like this sooner rather than later. Didn’t know if it would step me back in my learning.
