Here’s a selection of 3 great guitars we’ve rustled up in enough quantity to offer serious holiday bargains for guitarists on a budget or gift givers who realize that if you know what you’re looking for, an inexpensive guitar can be a triumph of the musical condition that will last for ages and keep sounding better every year…

 

Here’s the Recording King RPH05 0-sized 12-fret parlor guitar with Kluson tuners, in the style of a ’30’s Gibson. These guitars have a solid top, and sound rich, mellow and balanced, great for fingerpickers, great for moderately sized people who don’t want a foot-deep dreadnaught or jumbo billowing out in front of them. Great spacing for picking with clean, clear note separation while still feeling comfortable and natural, not just like a classical baseball bat. Great sleeper guitars, sound better every week as they’re broken in. Solamente $200

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s the JG615, a great solid-top dreadnaught with high quality tuning machines. The price point for high quality entry level starting guitars is dropping, and this guitar will sound great right away and will only get better as it ages and the lacquer breaks in and the spruce top begins to flex up and down with the player, accentuating playing dynamics with progressively more nuance and increasing frequency response. $140

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here’s the JG100 triple-O guitar, compact and comfortable, a great sounding and playing first guitar for $70. These have a slimmer profile and bulge out from the body a little less for the modestly sized among us who don’t want to feel dwarfed and may need to lean over to look at their fretting hand a little while they play
