Lauren Bateman recommends used guitars from Facebook Marketplace for older adults and veterans on tight budgets. A $300 guitar is easier to play, but a $100 one works fine to start. The point is to begin playing and upgrade later if you stick with it.
Facebook Marketplace
Around $300
$100
Older adults and veterans
I always tell people, like, if you can't afford because, you know, like I said, I do work with a lot of older adults. I actually work with a lot of veterans, too. So they're on kind of limited budgets. And I tell them, like, if you can get something used somewhere on, like, Facebook, Marketplace, or like, you know, you know, someone who has a guitar that's they're not using, ask them. It might not be the greatest guitar. If you can buy a guitar that's around $300, they are easier to play. But if you're on a limited budget and all you can afford is, you know, $100 guitar, then get that. And like I said, get started, start somewhere. And then if you really get into it, then you can really, you can save up and get that more expensive guitar.
