Is it a good idea to buy an acoustic guitar from Best Buy?
I was thinking of buying the Maestro by Gibson. It looks to be at a great price and it’s for a beginner.
But just because it’s sold at Best Buy, does it mean that’s it’s not as good of a guitar as if it was from Guitar Center or Sam Ash?
The guitars that are sold in Best Buy and other non-specialty stores are usually cheaper, and don’t sound as good as those that are in specialty stores. That is because they only carry beginner guitars, which are a lot less expensive.
However, if Guitar Center had that same beginner guitar that Best Buy had, they would have almost equal stats, but would cost more at Guitar Center because it is a specialty store.
If it is going to be your first guitar, and you are just starting out, don’t worry too much about where you are getting the guitar or getting a guitar that sounds really good. Beginner guitars from Best Buy will work just fine.
