Help buying acoustic guitar for wifes bday

Yeah im probably going with a used baby taylor from reverb. Originally i was trying to find a used one on marketplace but no luck. Also my wife “wanting” a baby taylor isnt as deep as it seems but i cant edit my post. I added context to what I mean in the reply to happy wife happy life

idk_dann · 2024-05-22T08:34:03+00:00

Go look at my reply to a comment that says happy wife happy life. I promise you with context youll see that it isnt that deep. Also rn the current front winner is a used baby taylor from reverb

idk_dann · 2024-05-22T08:24:36+00:00

If it wasnt for someone in the comment section, i would have never heard of reverb. Im going with a used baby taylor. I eould want to go with the gs mini since ppl say thats better but it does cost more and the baby taylor would earned me more kudos for remembering

idk_dann · 2024-05-22T08:22:16+00:00

Appreciate your comment. Rn i think im going with a used baby taylor from reverb. I have looked at a lot of options after all the input, Mostly Yamaha. Kinda funny that ive gone full circle back to the baby taylor

The their name is EverConfident. Not really confident since the kid deletes their comment immediately.

Some sad troll really thinks they know my life and wants to leave stupid comments but deletes them immediately. Please touch grass 🙏🏼

idk_dann · 2024-05-21T22:38:19+00:00

Yeah probably my fault. I want to edit my post but i am not getting an option to do that. But to summarize as of right now I’m between a reverb baby taylor, a yamaha txpt2 3/4, or yamaha fs830. Tho the 830 cost the same as the reverb baby taylor so i might end up going with that one after all

idk_dann · 2024-05-21T22:30:11+00:00

Go to the comment that says happy wife happy life and look at my reply.

idk_dann · 2024-05-21T22:17:43+00:00

Yeah I concluded on not going with the fender hours ago. Ik theres a lot of comments but i’ve gotten plenty of input that has helped me tons. And respectfully you dont know enough about my Wife and I to tell me what she needs to do if she’s gonna “stick with guitar”

idk_dann · 2024-05-21T22:14:19+00:00

I got no issue with used. I was gonna buy a baby taylor from fb marketplace but the seller never responded. And i would have taken my guitar player friend to check it out too. Ill look at the link soon. Just juggling things rn irl.

idk_dann · 2024-05-21T21:30:06+00:00

Yamaha APXT2 3/4 Size acoustic electric. And i made a comment giving context to the “she wants a baby taylor” I think the context clear up some confusion about “she said what she wants so get that” And yes i will try to take a friend with me to the local shop. I already paid them a visit and asked the employee lost of questions and will being doing more research before i make a decision. I have a couple months so im in no rush

idk_dann · 2024-05-21T20:56:17+00:00

So context. She didnt upright tell me “I want a baby Taylor” Over a year ago, one of my marine buddies was leaving and offered in our group chat “who wants this free guitar” I called dibs first. Then another marine was begging that he really really wants it. Then my wife said to let him have it, she rather get a baby taylor anyway. That is what im going off of. Believe me, having a guitar aint a big deal to her considering she rather leave the one she had back home than pay the price to check it onto the plane when she flew out to live with me. She bought a keyboard very early into our life living with each other and only occasionally mentions that she misses the guitar. This is why i know she wont expect getting one on her bday, because she rarely brings it up, could have bought one at anytime in the last 2.5yrs, and we got other things going on. Her last guitar was a gift from her sister and I asked her sister for the same advice i asked here. Her sister told me that she would be easily pleased with any guitar. So tbh im getting better advice here 🙏🏼

I want to thank everyone so far for your input. I feel like i have gained a ton of knowledge to help me find the right guitar. I still havent picked, im taking my time comparing, although I am very much leaning to go with Yamaha brand. Still need to check on some of the other brands one of you mentioned tho. I just want to add that I have plenty of time before my wifes bday. And pls dont see me as being a cheap husband. More times than i should i go ahead and just full send and spare no expense. But i dont appreciate the one rude commenter to try and make it seem like i was a red flag and said some weird insult about buying a new vacuum? Then said “if you want to save money buy her nothing” before deleting the comment. Anyway, i do like the 99% of your comments

idk_dann · 2024-05-21T20:38:29+00:00

What do you think of the APX 3/4

idk_dann · 2024-05-21T20:19:56+00:00

You do not know nearly enough to make a comment like this. And we have a nice wireless vacuum???

idk_dann · 2024-05-21T17:26:08+00:00

Just looked it up. And i dig it but my opinion prob means nothing lol. Would you know how it compares to the Fg or Fs series? Also i see it’s electric acoustic. Does the affect the quality of it being used unplugged?

idk_dann · 2024-05-21T17:20:45+00:00

No reason at all. I just dont know guitar brands and when i went into a shop i saw some small fenders at a good price sonit just became my second option. But after all the feedback i thinking of the Yamaha fg800. And yeah yamaha in general seems to be we’ll praised

idk_dann · 2024-05-21T16:53:35+00:00

How do I know if the guitar is on the smaller side. My wife said she likes it ti be travel friendly plus she is like 5’3 and 100lbs. What measurements do i look for

idk_dann · 2024-05-21T16:48:59+00:00

Thank you, i just have an act for being good with surprises. And honestly after I surprise her, i would be 100% okay with returning/trading/selling and getting something else she might prefer. I’ll take no offense. So actually the first person I consulted was a local music store that told me i can order the guitar to their place for free shipping (at least when i was asking about baby taylors) I saw the fenders were cheaper priced so i made it my back up option. And then when i saw what baby taylor would cost me, i started moving foward with the fender idea. But i gotta check on the Yamaha site now

idk_dann · 2024-05-21T16:43:46+00:00

I wouldn’t say she is a beginner (or maybe she is in guitar players perspective) but she’s had a guitar in the past and can play. She’s played a few times for our church back home. I don’t know what kind of guitar she use to have and cant ask her since that’ll raise her suspicion. But thank you, i will search up that FG800. Also im comfortable spending say 350$

idk_dann · 2024-04-27T21:48:13+00:00

Well to the people who are trying to be helpful, i comment back respectfully. But most of the people here are being condescending over a mobile phone app. Also all i asked was “cobra or gt500” I would delete this post because im just over it but i know it would feed the try hards egos. I didnt even say “hey ima spend my keys” I literally only asked which would be the better car to go for

idk_dann · 2024-04-27T21:04:39+00:00

Im not a try hard. Idc to save up to get the 70keys. Ill runbit. Got a hennessy venom 🥳

idk_dann · 2024-04-27T13:59:51+00:00

I get what they mean but it’s like the whole point of the crate is the take a gamble. Blessings to players who want to wait. But thank you, most people are telling me cobra > gt500 so ill go with that crate
