Buying a used guitar can be a great value, and many vintage instruments are prized for their tone and collectibility. However, beware of buying a used guitar that may cost a lot to repair later. Renting a guitar is a viable option if you’re not sure how much money you want to spend or what kind of guitar you want. However, they may be harder to play, or not sound quite as nice as other guitars, which might be discouraging.
It’s important that you understand how much of your early struggles are due to your lack of experience versus the instrument’s problems. It’s important for a beginner to play on a guitar that’s properly set up so that the player isn’t working harder than necessary to play the instrument
If the strings seem to be so high above the neck that it makes it hard for the fingers to press down, the guitar is considered to have high action. If the action is high, ask a sales person to adjust it. Make sure you’re completely comfortable with the way a guitar plays before you purchase it
