Do they sell an acoustic guitar with a smaller board for small hands to reach at all the strings? not for kids

Best thing I can reccomend is play an electric, the neck is not as big around so you have an easier reach.  I play the guitar, and it's hard for everyone to get use to stretching your fingers out all crazy.  You just have to start simple with your basic chords, and practice a lot.  I have friends that play great and have small hands, and short fingers.  You just have to work them out!  Good luck!

Usually music/guitar stores carry an instrument blue book. They usually give you a pretty good idea or starting point. Maybe try calling around and asking if the store carries one. They should be able to look it up over the phone if you give enough info.

the acoustic guitar was designed to be heard without amplification. therefore it will be heard to some extent. you may want to use a very light pick, you may try useing your fingers instead of a pick, you could try damping the strings with the heel of your hand or you could just pretend to be crazy when they come to complain(haha).

I know this has nothing to do ith your question, but your email address isn't verified, and I really want/need you help with my guitar. \nI was thinking about your other reply and  the string only buzzes when it's open. Does that mean it is a burr in the nut? \nAlso could you tell me what the safest way to change the string is? (I'm such a tele virgin!) \nThing is, it got brought two weeks ago, so I wasn't expecting anything to go wrong this quickly! Plus its Easter weekend, so everywhere is closed or I'm at work so I can't take it back to the shop and get them to sort it. \nThank you, its great to be able to ask someone who actually has the guitar to tell me what to do. \nOf course I like calexico. Again it's nice to find someone who knows who they are!

I personally suggest a Peevey Briarwood acoustic guitar for a beginner. At a guitar store you should be able to buy one for $130. Anymore than that straight off the shelves is a rip off, but that is the best guitar you can have as a beginner. It will treat you right I swear. Good luck! Also, you might be able to find for under $100 on ebay...

It depends on what type of guitar is used for the music you want to play.\n\nIf you're asking this question, I'm guessing you don't play guitar yet.  Many people start out on an acoustic guitar, then go to electric.  I don't know whether people go the other way.\n\nAs for being easy on the fingers, you can get strings that are easy on your fingers for an acoustic guitar, too.  It doesn't take long before you build up callouses and then it doesn't matter much.\n\nI hope you have a great time playing the guitar!

You are going to have to get a stand that holds the guitar by the neck. Not that the typical stand won't work, it's just that sometimes they are too low to the ground and the end of the guitar hits the floor.

this guitar has a vibrato arm?  if it does, be sure to change 1 string at a time. for instance, take off the high E (thinnest) string and then put the new one on, replacing it. continue by taking off the low E(the thickest) string and replace it. then go  back and take the second to thinnest (B string) off and take it off and replace it... follow this pattern.  try to get the closest to the same guage string you had on it if you can. if you have any more questions i will try to help. you can email me at metalman74@yahoo.com

I've seen this guitar in many forms.  You gotta ask yourself what did all the guitar players do to learn their craft before things like this came along.  I would say this guitar will become a crutch as you will always be looking for the hints on the neck.  Buy a entry level Fender or similar guitar and buy a guitar tableture book with you favorite songs if you don't want to take proper lessons.  Learn the chords and play them for at least 20 minutes every day....and I do mean every day.  The blisters you are going to get are gonna hurt at first but it's part of the trade.

Actually,you could do like Hendrix did with his right handed Stratocaster guitar and just flip your guitar around like you hold it (which would technically be upside down),and restring the strings so that your fat "E" is on top ! EADGB  This may work ,till you can get a lefty .Your knobs may be at the top of guitar now ,but you should still be able to jam ! :o)

I too was a classical guitarist. If you gat a classical, it will not be as good for strumming with a pick, and the baby guitars don't have such a good acoustic sound, although they could sound good with good electronics if you plug into an amplifier. If your steel string guitar is a fairly good one, you might be able to keep it and still make it easier to play by switching to lighter gauge strings, and having it professionally set up by a luthier or instrument repair shop. If the action (distance between strings and fret-board) or the truss rod (iron rod inside the neck) are not properly adjusted, the instrument could be harder to play.

um...get a teacher or a book, remember that electric guitar is easier if u ever want to try it ( the neck is skinnier)

Honestly...don't buy it.\n\nIf it's for you, or for someone else as a gift, spend a little more money a decent guitar.  I've seen too many people buy a cheap guitar as a first guitar because they think it will be a waste of money if they don't like it as much as they plan.\n\nthe bad thing with a guitar like that, is it's not fun to play.  It's made of cheap materials, does not sound good and will frequently fall out of tune.  It will be more of a hassle than you want.\n\nI always recommend that you go get a good guitar for your first one.  You don't have to spend a ton, but you'll have to spend a bit more than the "Spectrum."  Check your local classifieds or www.therecycler.com and often times you'll find people who went out and bought one, and decided it's not for them and they're now looking to sell it for a pretty good price.\n\nThat way, you'll have a lot more fun learning and if you decide guitar's not for you, you can actually resell it for something.  The only thing you can do with a Spectrum is throw it away or use it for firewood...\n\nLook into a Fender (Mexican or maybe American made if you get lucky on a price)  or an Epiphone, Gibson, Martin or Washburn...but that depends if it's acoustic or electic.
