The Spruce built parlor size Gibson acoustic guitar is a solid starter pack for a beginner guitar player who’s looking at the best acoustic guitars.   The rosewood fretboard gives it a nice bonus for its beginner status. Beginners will appreciate starting off with this quality guitar along with other novice-friendly guitars like a 3/4 size guitar. If you’re now a professional or serious collector that wants to invest in a high-end Gibson, the model we feature in our Gibson SJ 200 review is a high-quality pick to consider.
