I'm a beginner guitar player and have completely fallen in love with playing. I've been practicing on an older guitar that doesn't tune well anymore. I know from experience that instruments can look amazing but sound awful. I just want to find a cheaper, high quality guitar that will last a long time.
How do I find the right one?
Yes, I'm looking for an Acoustic Guitar.
Answer
Well, you basically have like two quite separate questions here.
The first one - judging a great guitar from a fake - is some times a complicated matter and will only involve well known and expensive brands ... or highly sought after, rare instruments.
In that respect, I don't really see how it applies to your situation - looking for a lower priced guitar. Also, like an other poster has touched upon, cheap and high quality does really not go hand in hand. A high quality acoustic instrument is expensive beyond belief (think tens of thousands of dollars).
You can however find a decent instrument for a couple of hundred dollars - an instrument which will serve you well for a long time.
If you look into acoustic steel string guitars from Ibanez, Yamaha, Jasmine (Takamine) or Epiphone, you should be able to find a decent guitar with an all wood (solid) top and more than fair build quality. Just make sure - if you want to be able to enjoy your instrument and continue playing - that you have the guitar properly adjusted with light strings. You can read more about that issue below when you feel like it :-)
