I think solid wood guitars are worth every penny because they tend to have way more resonance and volume. Solid wood guitars generally sound much better than laminate wood because of how the wood is sourced and crafted. If you have the budget for a solid wood guitar I’d recommend the investment! Of course, if you’re still a beginner and you’re not quite sure yet then there’s no rush. Wait until you’re a serious player before you start splashing the cash on expensive models!
