Just joined Guitar Tricks & only been playing about a year. I am 53 so a little late to the hobby but it is alot of fun & very challenging. Look forward to getting to interact with people on here. Play both electric & acoustic guitar. I guess a good question would be what are some recommendations for a good quality acoustic guitar? I have tried the D28 & the Gibson J45 playing them at the guitar shop. Right now I just have a Martin 000 Jr because it was a little smaller. Looking for something that has both acoustic & can plug in. No cutaway.
Hello from New Orleans, Louisiana
Welcome
Started at 58 myself and still at it at 61, but played in my early twenties for a bit. Many other late learners here so you'll do fine.
As for recommendations on an acoustic both of those models should serve you well. I have a Gibson l-00 which is smaller than the j45 and I love it so partial to them, but would never discount a Martin or a Taylor. Whatever feels more comfortable to you. Good luck.

Hey JW,
You described some awesome, investment quality guitars. If you've got the pockets, great! There are a number of excellent options for considerably less. You're local shop guy can help you out. Remember - if you can't hear/feel a difference in tone or playability, then a higher price is feeding some other need. I tend to lust after the big names myself.

Absolutley no such thing as it being too late to learn!
The awesome thing is this: you are putting time and energy into something you love - and it is never too late for that!
