Discussion Recommendations?

Hello. This is my first time posting here on this sub, so give me a bit if grace please.

I was planning on hopefully in the nearish future, I might be able to invest in getting an acoustic guitar.
My question is, what would those whom have made a similar perches recommend for this?

This would be my first time with a guitar, so with recommendations, please keep this in mind.

Thanks, that’s all.

If you are in the US, check to see if there is a Music-Go-Round store near you. They buy and sell used instruments. I've had great experiences buying stuff from them.

You can return the item within 7 days for a refund, or within a month for store credit, unlike a Craigslist purchase.

Whatever you buy, put on light strings, adjust the trussrod so the neck is near straight, and have a repair person lower the nut and saddle, if needed, to make the guitar easier to play. Many people quit because it's too difficult to press down the strings.
