I'm new to guitar, and I recently bought a new Seagull Entourage 6-string ($300) from a small guitar shop in town because it was the best one they had in my price range. I don't know what brand of strings it came with, but they sounded and looked pretty good. Then today I was in another guitar shop in another town and tried a couple of Blueridge guitars ($800+) and I was amazed at how much different they felt. It was much easier to play and the strings felt like I needed much less pressure to play chords. Was this because of the difference between the overall cost of the guitars, or was it simply a matter of different size strings with different tension? I'm getting frustrated with learning on my Seagull because of the tights strings, and these other guitars felt better and I'm wondering if new strings would help me. Thanks.
