There's definitely a difference in feel - a dreadnought has a larger body which may be less comfortable for shorter people. It also has a 'fuller', bass-ier, warmer sound than smaller acoustics.

A concert, like this CC-60s, is a bit brighter or sparklier, and again may be more comfortable for smaller people. I bought it a few years ago for my girlfriend, who enjoys it as a campfire/travel/beater guitar.

Are you the beginner? I generally recommend beginners start with an electric guitar as they're physically easier to play, quieter (you can practice with headphones), and because cheap electrics are typically better quality than cheap acoustics.
Guitar tech for over 20 years here.

Buy the guitar that you feel excited about: whether it be electric, acoustic, classical.

Learning on electric vs acoustic vs whatever, all irrelevant. At most, for peace of mind, you could bring the guitar to a local guitar tech and for around 50 bucks they should do some minor adjustments and any guitar (unless defective) will be good to go.

Any guitar is difficult at the beginning. Just give it time, and enjoy the process.

Mostly agree with what others said, just my 2 cents 👍
Seems to show $149 on the product page, but $139 (at least for me) once added to the cart

I bought this two months ago when it was a Slickdeals FP +34 deal for $10 more from the same seller. I have been very happy with the guitar at that price; so much so that I'm considering buying another one now

There will always be some debate over the merits of different types/makes of starter guitar, but mine arrived in great shape, well set up, and a pleasure to play. A great deal on a solid-top acoustic, especially for those of us who absolutely want something smaller than a dreadnaught.

Sorry that I am completely clueless.. for a beginner, should I get FA-125 (Costco kit @~$180) or this? Concert and dreadnought of all make a difference?

Yep, got callous not long ago, playing on a really old guitar that creaks when leaned on and have to constantly tune it. Assumed it is a dreadnought as that is more common and the curve is less pronounced. Thanks for the advice!

If you want to play acoustic, and like the larger body and fuller sound, a dreadnought is a good choice. The Yamaha FG-800 is the beginner classic in that style, and probably better quality than the FA-125. There are several on the used market near me, you might be able to get a lightly used one and have it professionally set up ($60-80) for the cost of the FA-125.

I was torn between those 2 until this deal came along. I am still just strumming and size doesn't bother me. So prob should stick to dreadnought. Thanks for helping me make up my mind to stay in lane. Cheers!

I am very curious about your comment. I am interested in guitar and, if I did start, I would be at the very beginning of beginner.
I had heard that if you learn on an acoustic, you can easily learn electric, but not the other way around.
So I am very curious as to your suggestion for learning on electric.
Is it the size of the guitar that makes electric easier to learn on?
Or is it that you were thinking about play/practice with headphones?
And is it not true what I heard about learning on acoustic vs electric?

Given the solid cedar top and nylon strings would make for a great beginner guitar, but wouldn't necessarily prepare you for the steel strings as well. I personally would suggest a more full size beginner guitar (I started with a Fender and still love it) with steel strings to learn on, then when you get comfortable you can always pivot to a classical guitar with nylon strings.

Depends. Electrics are hilariously easier to play (at a basic level). The string height is much lower and requires less finger strength to play a note or a chord. They also tend to be more forgiving of minor mistakes.

I'm more acoustic these days because I like to just grab it and play in between work tasks. And like you said, if you can play something acoustic, electric is usually a breeze. Conversely, there is a lot of stuff you just can't play on the acoustic at all (at least not without a cutaway and incredible finger skills)

My two cents after almost 30 years of casual play. Bass, then electric, then acoustic.

Side note: an electric-acoustic is a but of a compromise, but also the best of both worlds. I used to play Metallica songs on an Ovation roundback guitar Wink

1. It's easier to press the strings down on an electric,

2. Cheap electric guitars are usually better quality than cheap acoustic guitars.

Go with whatever one inspires you to play the most, you can easily pick up one after the other. It might be slightly harder to play acoustic after you've played electric, but most people quit within the first year. My hope is that you avoid that by having the easiest and most inspirational start.

If you really want to play folk styles or play around a campfire, acoustic will be more inspirational to you. But if you're not sure, I recommend electric. Being able to practice with headphones is just another perk.
