As a guitar lover for ten years, although I can't say that I am particularly professional, I can be regarded as passing the entry stage. Recently, I found that many novices don't know how to choose their first entry guitar, which is not just in time for Double 12 (year-end promotion).I'll hurry up and recommend it to the whites, so as not to miss this event.
E-commerce platform year-end promotion.
In the Double 12 Good Price Festival, the year-end promotionBuying musical instruments is really suitable, usually thousands of dollars of big-name guitars, now the event may be hundreds of big to win!And that's not all,Major e-commerce platforms have cross-store full reductions, interest-free installments, and so on, who is not impressed by such a big discount!
Many novice friends have this idea, too cheap low-end guitar can not guarantee the quality of raw materials and production process requirements, intonation and feel can not be guaranteed, some have not adjusted the string spacing of the steel bar, resulting in many novices can not tolerate the ultra-high spacing, and affect the enthusiasm for learning the piano, from entry to abandonment.
The difference between plywood and veneer.
It refers to the fact that both the panel and the back side board are synthetic panels (composite panels), which are also commonly known as plywood, which are made of wood chipsIt is not easy to be affected by temperature and humidity, it is easy to maintain, and the resonance sound quality is not dispersed enough
The panel is made of solid wood panels, and the back and side panels are made of plywood, which is also called the face sheetThe direction of the wood fiber is uniform, which is more conducive to sound vibration and conduction, has better timbre resonance, and it is better to choose a single board or a full single guitar at the same price.
Synthetic wood (left) and HPL (right).
hplThe full name is high-pressure laminate, and the scientific name in Chinese is:Thermosetting resin impregnated paper high-pressure decorative laminated board。In a document issued by the Standardization Administration of the People's Republic of China, the definition of HPL is:It is a decorative material made by impregnating the surface paper, decorative paper and the base paper impregnated with phenolic resin, which is laminated and hot-pressed under high pressure. Abbreviated as High Voltage Decorative Plate (HPL).
Synthetic wood, or hybrid wood, is a synthetic material made from wood chips pressed or bonded with multiple layers of bark, and like HPL, neither has the texture and physical properties of natural wood.Although the overall craftsmanship and production of some brands of HPL and synthetic wood guitars are still good, HPL and hybrid wood are not solid wood after all, and there are still differences between the sound and the acoustic guitarIf you have a certain obsession with timbre tendencies and prefer the timbre of the acoustic guitar, then I still recommend that you give preference to the xylophone!Finishing a ** and more barrel type introductions are clear at a glance, you can refer to it.
Introduction to common barrel types.
The size of the guitar is calculated by the overall length of the guitar, measured in inches, and is not determined by the size and thickness of the barrel, so the size of the barrel should also be considered when choosing the size of the guitar. When buying a guitar, the size should match your height and arm span, otherwise the size of the guitar will be too large to use it will be particularly difficult, especially for beginners, the size that is not suitable for a long time is not only difficult to see results, but also easy to cause deformation Xi of the playing posture, and it is difficult to correct it in the later stage.
Size recommendations. 
Common dorsal and lateral plate materials.
The density is high, the sound quality is transparent and bright, the mid and high frequencies are excellent, and the low frequencies are slightly weaker.
The timbre is similar to mahogany, the overall color is lighter, the mid and high frequencies are brighter, and the sound quality is balanced and transparent.
A hard material with a bright tone with a concentrated midrange. It responds well to sensitive playing and louder percussion styles. Clear, warm tone.
High density and hardness, rosewood back with rich bass, more explosive timbre characteristics, popular with fingerstyle and singing enthusiasts. It is also one of the most popular woods for making guitar cabinets.
Pickup.
If you are a beginner and don't have a need for performances, you often just use it for Xi practice, and occasionally use it in the classroom or at a small party, and if you want to entertain yourself, it is enough to choose an acoustic guitar.
A pickup is added to the original version, which is equivalent to a microphone on the guitarPlug the plug of the speaker into the pickup of the electric box guitar, and the sound can come out through the speaker, which plays a role in expanding the volume and increasing the timbre effect, and the function is the same as that of an ordinary folk guitar when the speaker is not connected.If you often need to perform on stage or need to live broadcast and record, then you should choose a folk guitar with an electric box, which will make it more convenient for you. Therefore, you can choose according to your own usage scenarios and needs.
I think the minimum budget for a beginner's first piano should be from 500 yuan, and about 8,000 yuan is enough for entry-level use。If you go further, unless the family conditions are relatively superior, it is not recommended, after all, it is a beginner, and you do not have an exact concept of the guitar itself and your own needs, which is easy to increase your own trial and error costs.
Usually beginners choose a piano, and I always recommend starting with a veneer guitar, the first normal of a single guitar is about 1000-3000 yuan, and the veneer series of international first-line brands is relatively expensive, generally from 3000 yuan to close to 10,000 yuanOf course, friends with a very good budget can buy and buy as much as you like!
But with the continuous improvement of the technology of domestic brands in recent years, the continuous optimization of products, and slowly do not replace part of the market share by other excellent and more cost-effective domestic brand products, the rise of domestic products, and now there are a large number of folk guitars with quality and reputation that are very capable of playing, soCombine multiple dimensions such as craftsmanship, feel, sound quality, and brand to purchase within your budget.
The first one: Veazen Fersen CLR300 series (face sheet), priced at 798 yuan;(The first piano to buy without burden).
Veazen Fersen CLR300 series.
When it comes to Veazen Fersen guitars, everyone will be familiar with the domestic guitar brand that focuses on the development and production of acoustic veneer and full single guitars, and its reputation and quality have always been the best.
I have to say that the Veazen Fersen CLR300 series in this price range is still quite solid, the Sitica spruce with Sapele back side plate, Aguman neck, rosewood fingerboard and lower yard and other materials, many guitars at the same price are still plywood guitars, using Ingman spruce, which is relatively weaker than the Sitica bass and explosiveness, andThe superior characteristics of Sitica Spruce, full of resonance, and good sound dynamics, are also commonly used in many mid-to-high-end face single guitars.
In addition to the solid configuration of the Veazen CLR300 series, it is also worthy of praise for the comfortable feel, the neck and body are matte lacquer, full of grip, and the low string pitch is very friendly to beginnersCompared with the 4mm string spacing standard, the CLR300 series chord spacing is 25~3.0mm, whether it is a novice beginner or an advanced friend, it can be easily controlled.
There is basically no shortcoming, this single-board guitar of less than 1,000 yuan has such a good feel and sound quality experience, and the guitar at the same price is more cost-effective, which is really fragrant.
The second: Yamaha Yamaha F310 series (plywood), the price starts at 949 yuan;(Entry-level plywood, stable and durable).
Yamaha F310 series.
In the previous purchase suggestions, it is recommended to give priority to the veneer guitar, so why would you put this plywood in the recommendation?
When it comes to the F310 series, I have to say that Yamaha's brand influence and sales are really good, and the workmanship is often complained about not enough details, which is better than the quality and durability。There are also spruce plywood with eucalyptus plywood on the back side, Nadu wood neck and other material configurations are relatively poor, but the feel and sound quality are still good compared to other entry-level plywood guitars.
The chord pitch range is 4mm and is on the high side, you may need to debug it yourself, only 41 inches and log color are available, and the selectivity is relatively single.
If you can consider easy maintenance, there is no pursuit of feel and sound quality, and I personally think that F310 is actually enough, and offline fake pianos are more common, so try to buy them in the regular ***.
The third paragraph: SAGA Saga SF700 (face sheet), the price starts at 998 yuan;(Popular face sheet, stable quality control).
Saga SF700 series.
The Saga SF700 series is also a 1,000-dollar single-board guitar, albeit with a mixed-material fingerboard and matte paint on the configuration, The configuration is somewhat reduced, and the new bright model is optional, ** 100 yuan more expensive, but it is better than stable quality control, and it is also a strong competitor in the single-board guitar at the price of 1,000 yuan.
The panel is made of slightly worse material than the SiticaIngman spruce with Sapele back side panel, Okouman neck, mixed material ebony fingerboard and down-size configuration, the timbre high frequencies are more pronounced, but the bass and explosiveness are slightly weaker.
In terms of workmanship and feel, SF700 is also a qualified veneer guitar, and some people say good and some people say bad about stability, but it is still worth recommending.
The first one: Veazen VZ200 series (face sheet), the price starts at 999 yuan;(Cost-effective entry sheet, good feel quality).
Veazen Fersen VZ200 series.
The Veazen Fersen VZ200 series isA piano with a good reputation in the entry-level veneer circleIt is also another hot-selling model of Veazen Fersen, and the Sitica spruce veneer is quite solid with the sapelle back, mahogany core neck, rosewood fretboard and lower yard.
Sitica spruceCompared to Ingman and other spruces, it has a fairly high toughness and a lower weightWide dynamic range, crisp and clear articulation. It can provide full power and responseThe direct timbre.
It has a good reputation, and because it has been professionally checked, both the craftsmanship and the materials used are above the level, so it is also the most common style for beginners to consider when choosing the first instrument.
Whether it is after-sales service or durability, it can stand the test of time, the workmanship is fine and rigorous, all details are more attentive, and the reputation and quality have been the best.
The second: Yamaha F600 series (plywood), the price starts at 1099 yuan;(Entry-level plywood, easy to maintain and durable).
Yamaha F600 series.
Many friends of the Yamaha F310 series will be familiar with it, but what about the F600 series?From the configuration point of view, it belongs to the F310 small upgrade model, although the overall feel and sound quality have been slightly improved, but unfortunately, it is still a plywood guitar, ** is also slightly more expensive.
I have to say Yamaha'sThe brand influence and sales volume are really good, and the workmanship made in Indonesia is often complained about not enough details, but the quality is durable.
There are also spruce plywood with Melanti plywood back, Nadu xylophone neck and other material configurationsCompared with the configuration of veneer guitars in the same price range, it is relatively poor, but compared to other entry-level plywood guitars, it is still very good and worth recommending
The chord pitch range is 4mm and is on the high side, you may need to debug it yourself, only 41 inches and log color are available, and the selectivity is relatively single.
If you can consider easy maintenance, choose durable, F600 series is still recommended, the entry practice Xi is also enough, offline fake piano is more common, try to buy it in the regular ***.
The third paragraph: SAGA Saga SF800 (face sheet), the price starts at 1180 yuan;(Popular single guitar, stable quality control).
SAGA Saga SF800 series.
Saga SF800 series is also a thousand-dollar class of single-board guitarsThe configuration is still equipped with a mixed material fingerboard and matte paintThe configuration is upgraded compared with SF700 with the back side panel and the lower yard material, and the panel is still made of Ingelman spruce wood, a lighter wood than the Sitica spruce, it has richer overtones, more concentrated midrange, and the overall sound dynamics are slightly weaker than those of the Sitika.
The panel was usedThe "heat treatment" technology can be understood as carbon roasting, which imitates the trajectory of natural air-drying and aging of wood, so that the accelerated aging of wood fibers reaches a certain stability, and at the same time, it also makes the sound directly skip the opening period and have a better timbre performance.
What is "heat treatment" (heat modification) technology?Original panels and heat-treated panels.
"Heat treatment" (thermal modification) can improve these acoustic properties. Thermal modification refers to the proper heating of wood under oxygen-free conditions, so that the strength of the wood increases, and the density and damping decrease, and this change is permanent and reliable.AlthoughHeat treatment improves performance, but it is also a way to promote seedlings, and there are advantages and disadvantages。Compared to the timbre of naturally dried aged wood, this treated timbre is still slightly inferior.There are many thermal modification techniques, and they are known by many different names as well as different methods. Well-known technologies such as Yamaha's ARE technology, Taylor's Torrefied technology, and Bourgeois' aged wood technology are all thermal modifications.
Their function is to speed up the wood through the "sound period", and speed up the state of the panel after decades of precipitation. In this process, many interesting reactions occur inside the wood, such as increased crystallinity, decrease of hydrophilic groups, increased strength, increased brittleness, darker color, smaller internal damping, and so on.
In terms of workmanship and feel, the SF800 series is also a good veneer guitarIt has not been on the market for a long time, the stability has yet to be verified, some people say it is good and some people say it is bad, and the whole is still worth recommending.
The first one: Veazen VZ90 series (face sheet), the price starts at 1580 yuan;(High-quality advanced face sheet, advanced to show the best style).
Veazen Fersen VZ90 series.
Whether it is in terms of workmanship, feel and timbre, or in terms of comprehensive performance, it has more advantages than competing products in the same price range, selected high-quality Sitica spruce with mahogany core (or rosewood) back and side panels are optional, mahogany core neck, rosewood fingerboard and lower yard configuration, meticulous workmanship.
Two back and side panels are available to meet the needs of people with a variety of playing stylesThe sound quality of the peach core back side plate is warm, there is a good response to sensitive performance and louder percussion, and it is also one of the favorite timbres of many fingerstyle players.
The electric box model uses a vibrating pickup,The original sound pickup reproduction is excellent, in additionConnected and unconnected speakers and other equipment also achieve vibration amplification, reverberation, and synthesis effect increase, adding polish effect to the timbre, to the best stage.
The performance in all aspects is very good, there are basically no shortcomings, the workmanship is delicate, the string pitch is comfortable and the sound quality is full and layeredIf you want to choose an advanced face sheet guitar at a price of less than 2000 yuan, then the Veazen VZ90 series is your unmissable choice.
The second: Yamaha FG800 series (face sheet), the price starts at 2099 yuan;(Popular face sheet, classic and durable).
Yamaha FG800 series.
The FG800 series can be regarded as a classic model of Yamaha, and it still has a certain degree of popularity in the entry-level veneer guitar, and the configuration is made of spruce wood with Nadu wood, Nadu wood neck, etc., with a glossy lacquer surface, and the appearance is classic and durable。The configuration is not excellent, the sound quality is not too good, and the durability has always been a strong competitiveness.
Yamaha YamahaThe brand influence and sales are really good, and the workmanship is often complained about not enough details, which is better than the quality and durability. There are two sizes and four colors to choose from, and there are still plenty of options. Compared with the configuration of veneer guitars in the same price range, it is relatively poor, but compared to other entry-level plywood guitars, it is still very good and worth recommending
The third: KEPMA Kama F1 series (face sheet), the price starts at 2200 yuan;(Good feel, stable quality control, quality clearance).
Kama F1 series.
As one of the representatives of the domestic standardized production factory, Kama has been improving its market share in the product, with spruce with peach core back side plate, and wood neck and rosewood fingerboard under the code configurationWith the blessing of German "plek" technology, the adjustment of feel and details has taken a big step.
If it is the same spruce with peach core material, there is not much difference between the material alone, if you have to say the difference, it feels like Kama F1The sound is a little thinner, the middle and high frequencies are excellent, the low frequencies are slightly worse, and the rosewood back plate is more recommended if the low frequencies are explosive and thick, and the workmanship is still more delicate.
Due to the high production costs and in order to guarantee considerable profits for intermediate distributorsPersonally, I don't think the sincerity of F1's final sales pricing is high. But it has a good performance in the feel, and it is still worth recommending overall.
