    Hi,

    I want to buy a guitar from online store (bajaao or furtados).

    I have followed some discussions in this forum and I have zeroed in on Granada. This one in particular - Granada PRS-9 30" Travel Acoustic Guitar.

    I kinda like the small size but I would like to know if its good for a beginner like me.

    My budget is strictly within 3k.

    In the past I had borrowed a jumbo from one of my cousins but I found the guitar neck (I hope its called the neck) too thick and my fingers couldn't hold the strings properly. I have short - ish fingers (to give an idea, my index finger is around 3 inches long measured from the base) So will this guitar suit me?? I am open to other suggestions as well.

    I appreciate any help..

  3. If you are totally new to guitar... i'd suggest you not to worry about the feeling that ur fingers could not hold...

    Try Gibson guitars in the starting range. Granada is a good choice.
    But don't buy it online.... Go to a guitar shop... speak to the guy who sells them. Make sure the salesman is not just a salesman... they are usually guitarists,
    So he will know which size will be apt for you.

    once you zero in on the model you want, you can shop online.

    I myself use a givson g 150 acoustic... it is a really good guitar to begin with. Have a look at it too, though i doubt they are still in the market.

    All the best bro :)
