    see 6 months is not a great time ,this is a common experience with most players that they want to play well and if they can't they blame the guitar for it. my advise is that you shud buy a new guitar after about a year and half of playing becoz of two reasons one that by that time you shall have a bigger budget and a lot of playing experience under your belt ,becoz there are so many varities of guitar like dreadnought , jumbo, grand auditorium archtop,. these are the shapes and then the specifications of wood type used for the back front and sides and also guitar of what scale will you buy there are many options and a newbie like you cud get confused. look out sites that offer help on buying guitar(google it up) and save a little more money say around 20k to 35k ,after some experience u will be in a state to decide the type of guitar and also a really great sounding guitar.

    there are many companies but some with repo are yamaha, takamine ,fender(not so good),taylor,ibanez. and while buying a guitar play it for about 15-20 min until u are fully satisfied and trust ur ears there are minor defects in guitars like a warped neck even a minor crack in the wood means a lot

    but if u insist on buying one now go for a yamaha or ibanez take a experienced player with you .

    ^^^^ STOP RECOMMENDING GIVSONS!!!! THEY SUCK!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:


    For 10K , there area lot of options available... Try the Yamahas and Takamines.... You could also try the Pluto accoustics. Good quality guitars at a price that wont burn a hole in your pocket.
