Shop electric, acoustic, bass and classical guitars at Irvine Art & Music. Explore models from Fender, Ibanez, Martin, Taylor, PRS, Yamaha and other guitar brands. Compare instrument styles, specifications and available options to find a guitar suited to your playing needs.

Both acoustic and electric guitars can be suitable for beginners. Acoustic guitars can be played without an amplifier, while electric guitars generally require an amp or another suitable listening setup. Choose based on your preferred music style, comfort, budget and the sound you want to learn.

Classical guitars typically use nylon strings and have wider necks, while steel-string acoustic guitars use metal strings and are common in pop, folk and rock music. Their tone and playing feel differ. Choose the guitar type that suits your playing style, and always use the string type designed for the instrument.

Check the guitar's body style, pickups, neck specifications, scale length and available size options. Beginners should also consider an amplifier, instrument cable and tuner if these are not already owned or included. Review the product listing for exact specifications and included accessories.
