Acoustic guitars in the Philippines: prices and how to buy

Updated 4 November 2026

A beginner acoustic guitar in the Philippines costs about ₱1,500, a good mid-range dreadnought about ₱8,000 to ₱18,000, and premium imported models about ₱190,000. These are approximate prices, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. For the exact model you want, describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice and compare current offers.

Warranty: check it before you pay

Warranty terms are set by each manufacturer, and they differ. Fender states two years against defects in materials and workmanship, one brand gives one year from the date of purchase, and Martin offers a limited lifetime warranty. Taylor warranty claims must meet the rules of the country where the guitar was bought, and its service department must approve a warranty repair before work starts. Ask the seller which warranty applies and who carries out the repair.

Humidity and the seasons

The Philippines has no winter. The year is hot all round, with a wet season and a dry season, so there is no cold period to plan around. The humidity change between the two seasons is what matters for a wooden top. Check the finish and the neck for cracks, and ask whether a case or humidifier is included.

Delivery, sizes and what is included

Listings give sizes in inches, for example 38 inch, 39 inch or 41 inch, so ask for the body length in centimetres too if you plan to buy a case. Name your delivery city (Manila, Quezon City, Makati, Cebu City or Davao City) so the seller can quote shipping to you. Ask whether the price includes a bag, capo, strings, strap and picks, because many listings bundle them.

What to write in your request

Give the guitar type (dreadnought, parlour, folk or 12-string), the model if you know it, the body size, and the condition: new, or used with the wear described. Add your player level, the top wood you prefer, what should be included, your budget in pesos and your delivery city. A short line such as "beginner, budget ₱5,000, Cebu City" gets the most useful offers.
