The material from which it is crafted is usually a main factor in the pricing of a guitar. Some guitars are manufactured using graphite or plastic in place of the traditional wood, but even in a cheap acoustic guitar wood makes it possible to achieve the tone you really want to produce.

Best Way To Change Strings on Your Steel Guitar
By :
E Walker
I'd like to share my thoughts about steel guitars and string changing. I've found over the years that If you play your guitar (It doesn't matter what brand) 1 hour a day you should change your strings between 10 to 14 days.

Just tuning to 440 and doing nothing stretches the life and flexibility out of the strings after a few weeks.
