When you start a new passion project or hobby, you need the basic gear to get off on the right foot, so we've put together a basic beginners guitar package with three essentials.
The guitar: Sigma 000M-1 or DM-1. Depending on your body size there is an entry level Sigma for you. The 000M-1 is a smaller 'folk' shaped guitar that would suit a smaller player and the DM-1 is a broader dreadnought shape with a beefer sound. $599.00 each.
The tuner: There are a bunch of different clip-on tuners on the market and some have little buttons that can be a hassle to use and often you end up changing a setting and screwing with your tuner unnecessarily. The Fishman FT-2 does away with the nonsense and is a simple flip up tuner that does it's job accurately and turns off when you flip it back down. $39.95
The capo: A capo is like having an extra hand for a beginner. It changes the key of the guitar and when you're starting out and barre chords are a little bit of a stretch, a capo will have you playing along to your favourite songs in an instant. The Kyser range of capos use a spring mechanism that is trusty and they come in a range of colours, heck you can even open beers with them.
With these three items you will be ready to ignite your musical journey and bring joy to your ears.
