If you are a beginner and want to buy an acoustic guitar for 100 or less what brand should you buy?
There is no set answer to this question, as low cost guitars change with time. However, you should investigate the guitar itself to find out what sort of wood it is made from, either laminate or solid wood. (This mostly just applies to the top of the guitar) Laminate is stronger than solid wood, but doesn't resonate as much and produces a poorer sound. Solid wood is weaker but resonates fully, producing a deeper, richer and higher quality sound. If you are a careful person (this doesn't take much in this sense as it is quite hard to step on a guitar) you can do fine with a soild wood guitar, which is essentially a better choice. (A proffessional guitarist would never choose to play a laminate topped guitar) You can get solid wood topped guitars for less than £100 aswell, I once bought one from Argos for about £30, which turned out to be an excellent buy. As for makes of guitar, go for relatively small named companies, such as Hohner or Falcon. Well known guitars such as Fenders or Tanglewoods will be of a low quality at this price, almost certainly with a laminate top. Remember, just because it looks good and shiny, doesn't mean it sounds good.

What type of wood for acoustic guitar?
Ive been doing some research on that...Seems as though most woods (sitka spruce, rosewood etc.) work well, but it needs to say solid wood in the specs especially for the top of the guitar. If its not solid, it will be laminate wood which has glue and deadens the tone. If the back and sides are solid, the guitar will sweeten with age, but that is the main difference. Solid woods. There are many expensive guitars even up to a martin costing 33000 dollars, but mostly the reason for this outrageous price is the random woods used to make it.
How can I tell whether an acoustic guitar is a laminate or solid top by holding or playing it?
I've never been able to figure it out by sound. There is a very easy way though. Follow the grain of the top as it goes into the sound hole. If you can see the on the edge of the sound hole then you have a solid top. If the edge of the hole is kin of dark the you don't If you paid less that$500.00 it is not a solid top.
