Take the tour ×  My teacher keeps telling me that my guitar is
really bad.  I am a pretty novice guitarist (started 3 months
ago), and haven't played on any instrument other than mine, so

teacher is actually also a guitar maker, so his opinion is
probably biased (both because he is used to good guitars and
because he wants me to buy one).  So, how do I decide whether I
should get a better guitar?  My goal is to have a guitar that is
good enough not to hinder learning, at my level (to give an
impression on my level: I don't do barre chords yet).
