The Yamaha F310 Guitar is an excellent choice for beginners. This acoustic guitar is inexpensive and easy to use as well.

Regarding its durability, it is made of gorgeous Rosewood which is one of the hardest and most durable woods. Its hardness can be likened to teak.

In terms of appearance, this guitar is also a beautiful choice. It has an elegant Nato neck and Meranti back and sides, in a high gloss finish.

Its body depth is slightly reduced, making it easy for beginners to use it. The strings are also a tad softer, so beginners would be able to handle them easily as well.

For an entry-level guitar, the sound of the Yamaha F310 is solid, and if properly maintained, it will retain its good tone for a long time.

This guitar would be a perfect introductory instrument for beginners. Most beginners quit right away, but the easy handling and sweet resonance of the Yamaha F310 might motivate them to stick with guitar-playing.

However, a disadvantage to this guitar’s softer strings is that its strings are more fragile, so it might lead to breakage if handled improperly. 

Another disadvantage is that this guitar would be ideal only for beginners, so once the user has achieved a professional level type of playing, they would need to purchase a new guitar.

Lastly, it has a full body design. While this allows for more resonance, some might find it more difficult to have full fret access as compared to a guitar with a cutaway design.

All in all, we think this is a solid guitar brand choice for beginners in the Philippines.

Davis Guitar is a music shop which was first established in Singapore back in 1989. Since then, they have evolved into a huge music shop retailer and distributor of musical instruments.

One of their bestsellers is the Davis Stratocaster Guitar which is a perfect guitar for beginners who love rock music. It also won’t hurt your wallet, which is great.

It is made of ash wood with a maple neck which is a very attractive combination. Solid ash wood can produce a vibrant, resonant, and bright tone, making the Davis Stratocaster Guitar a good choice for beginners and professionals alike.

This guitar has 22 frets which allows it to produce sounds that are thicker and warmer. This is because there is less of a distance between the nut of the guitar and the neck pickup.

Since the neck is shorter, you don’t have to reach as much down the fretboard, making this guitar easier to play.

A downside to this guitar is its low action which means its strings are closer to the frets. Thus, it might be prone to a slight buzzing caused by the strings vibrating against adjacent frets.

Since it is an electric guitar, it is also heavier, so some people might find it hard to handle and use.

For beginners who are rock music lovers in the Philippines, the Davis Stratocaster Guitar would be a good option to consider.

Created by Ramon “RJ” Jacinto, the RJ Center is one of the leading guitar sellers and manufacturers in the Philippines. 

One of their more popular guitars is the RJ Deluxe Manila Folk Steel Guitar. This is the perfect acoustic guitar for beginners who are on a budget.

It is a stunning guitar made of the sturdy and durable linden wood with a Nato neck and a maple top. Linden wood has light and soft tonal properties, allowing the user to produce a balanced tone.

This guitar for beginners has a good fret access due to its cutaway design. It allows the player to access the upper frets easily, making this guitar user-friendly.

It also has a truss rod which helps to stabilize the neck against the strings’ tension.This added support will prevent the neck from being bent from pressure.

It also has a built-in EQ with Digital Tuner, allowing the user to adjust the volume level of a frequency in order to achieve the optimal sound.

Lastly, it has a piezo pickup which produces sounds that are clear and strong, with minimal feedback.

Having a cutaway design can be a drawback if one’s priority is the sound. Since cutaway guitars have less body to work with in order to provide resonance, the sound’s fullness can be slightly affected.

Lastly, having extra features such as the built-in EQ with Digital Tuner might confuse players who are just starting to learn guitar. For those who are easily overwhelmed, a simpler guitar might be better for them.

As a whole, the RJ Deluxe Manila Folk Steel Guitar would be a great choice for beginner guitar players on a budget.

Based in California, Taylor Guitars is a well-respected and established American guitar manufacturer. Founded in 1974, this company is an expert in creating acoustic guitars and semi-hollow electric guitars. 

One of their masterpieces, the gorgeous Taylor GS (short for Grand Symphony) Mini-e Mahogany, is also a strong contender for one of the best guitar brands in the Philippines for beginners. 

This award-winning guitar is travel-sized. Since it is lighter than regular guitars, it is being geared towards women. It is also for those with an active lifestyle and for beginners as well.

Its smaller size also allows a beginner guitarist to access the entire fretboard easily.

Its combination of a rich mahogany top with a sapele neck, back, and sides makes it a sight to behold. Since mahogany, as a tonewood, has a controlled high end, a perfect midrange, and a thick bottom end, it also produces a warm and rich balanced sound.

Mahogany is also one of the most commonly used materials in acoustic guitars due to its beauty, durability, and resonance.

A drawback to this guitar brand is its high price point. At Php 39,899.00, it is certainly an investment.

Another drawback is the volume of the sound it produces. Due to its petite design, it has less of a body to work with, thus its projection of sound is limited.

If you have money to burn and prioritize the ease of guitar-playing, then this beauty is for you.

Fender, founded in 1946, is an American guitar manufacturer which is globally known for their well-made electric guitars. Celebs like Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and even Taylor Swift – all of them own Fender guitars.

Even though the Fender CD-60SCE Guitar is an acoustic guitar, it is still a highly recommended guitar for beginners.

Like the Taylor GS Mini Mahogany, it is also made of  mahogany. Thus, it is also durable and produces a warm and rich balanced sound, but this Fender’s volume has a higher level since it is bigger than the GS Mini.

Due to its Venetian-cutaway body design, the player can effortlessly access the whole fretboard, allowing him or her to play with ease.

This guitar has rolled fingerboard edges. This is ideal for beginners since it would be easier for them to ‘rollover’ the fingerboard when forming chords.

One disadvantage of this guitar is that it has a plastic nut, which is too soft to use as nut material in general. If not maintained properly, it might wear down quickly due to the friction from the strings. This lessens the overall durability of the guitar.

Lastly, Php 17,959.00 is pricey for an entry-level guitar. Should the user realize that guitar-playing isn’t for him or her, so he or she would have wasted money purchasing this guitar.

If you are in love with the Fender brand, and you are set on learning guitar, then this would be the ideal guitar for you.
