If you’re anything like I was when selecting my first guitar, I didn’t have a clue what I should have been looking or listening for. Asked the question, “What do you think?” my answer was a vague, “Yeah, it’s better than the one I have”. But I had no idea why.

If you’re in the same boat, chances are you’ll have as much of an idea as I did all those years ago. There are so many options and factors that go into making great sounding guitars. Questions abound: Nylon or steel string? Ply top or hard top? Full size or ¾ size?

Well wonder no more. In this episode of SongPond.tv, Ben visits a local music store and gives the low down on the different guitars on offer. What to expect in terms of price and the benefits of each type of guitar.

Don’t worry though, you won’t be bombarded with too much information, but will receive just enough information to feel confident when you next step into a music store to pick out your next guitar.
