The most common question asked by people who want to learn to play guitar is, what type of guitar should I buy? Should I buy and electric or an acoustic guitar. The acoustic vs. electric guitar question has been around since electric guitars were invented.

Most of us don't "go looking for problems," but if you are considering buying a vintage acoustic guitar, it is best to recognize any problems or potential problems BEFORE the purchase. In my article, "Acoustic Guitars--Why Buy Vintage?" I noted some good reasons to buy vintage guitars (guitars that were made between the mid-1920's and about 1970).

So you've made a resolution to learn how to play guitar and you've decided that those loud electric guitars are not for you. The next step then is to decide what kind of acoustic guitar to buy.

If you no longer are enjoying playing your current guitar maybe it is time to start looking around for a new one. While you are having fun looking for the next perfect guitar, it is also time to think about selling the old one. Have you considered trying to sell it online?
