  1. I am a beginner guitarist. I am looking for the guitar which is comfortable to play. I am now playing an old Gibson guitar, recently installed parts for Gibson guitars by technician. I have seen there some trending guitars. I want to buy a new one, but looking for tips. What type of acoustic guitar will be best for beginner? I can buy a second hand guitar, if the price is high. Looking for the good one.
