FloridaGull replied to Jordan S Bell's discussion Spruce or cedar and what type of guitar?"Assuming the Entourage you are describing is a dreadnought (Entourages are also available as a mini-jumbo and a grand), you are really comparing apples and oranges - the Seagull you mention is a dreadnought and the Yamaha is a folk.

Well The first question is spruce or cedar? I will be playing mainly country and modern christian music? I heard cedar chips more and easily? Is it true? Which one would you pick if you were a beginner and play in that kind of music. Top dollar I'm going to spend for me because i'm a beginner and don't know if I stick with it is 350$. I was looking at the seagull entourage rustic acoustic/cedar top and the Yamaha fg700s/spruce top. Which one would you get? Or what brand and guitar would you get…See More
Jordan S Bell replied to David Gossett's discussion Re-stringing"What kind of guitar do you have? As Craig said there is no right way to change it. Everyone has different ways and they all work out to basically the same thing. Do you have a pin puller?"
JB Maddox replied to Jordan S Bell's discussion Beginner Acoustic Guitarist just saying hello!"Hello Jordan. All I teach are beginners. Before anything get a guitar you can play.
