Wanted to play acoustic guitar for a long while and I've finally decided to buy one but don't know what size I should get, I'm a 5''6 girl. Also if anyone knows any decent places to get then from that are cheap that would be helpful aswell.
Answer
Size, sometimes matters. But only the body (style) of the guitar. As there are smaller body styles that some players will be comfortable with.
Anyones' height is not relevant, or size, or weight, or even hands, or arms, or fingers.
As they all can be compensated through a variety of playing methods.
And, get to a real music store or GC that has a variety of guitar in stock, and try them out. Take someone with you who is already a player to help in making a decision.
Cheap is as cheap does. And inexpensive guitars can come across well for many beginners. No such thing as a beginner guitar, but there are some even good, well made and fair sounding instruments to choose from.
Expect to pay $125 - $400 for your first guitar. Really. Especially looking for one with a 'solid' top and not a laminate veneer. But with some brands, they (plywood layer tops) can come across well too and provide an instrument that will last several years.
Look for: Alvarez; Art & Lutherie; Cort; Dean; Epiphone; Ibanez; Jasmine; Johnson; Norman; Samick; Seagull; Walden; Washburn and Yamaha.
Saying, better guitars are around $600 - $1000.
Stay away from 'package' deals or those that come in a box, on display.
