<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I love my Yamaha Compass CPX5 acousitc electric. sounds great plugged or unplugged.

[ZoSo_Kid]

Washburn Acoustics are great... just dont bother with their electrics

[mackenziepiper]

I have an Ibanez Semi-acoustic...very nice. Ibanez acoustic sounds lovely

[gcd23]

Takamine, Dean, Yamaha, Ibanez, and Washburn. Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Go to your nearest guitar store and check all the guitars within your price range. Hope this helped.

Yes. And Polish equivalent of the word "yes" is "tak".... if you know what I mean.

ALVEREZ!!!!!

[ZoSo_Kid]

I have an alvarez straight out of the 70's, if you can get your hands on an old guitar they are the best in my oppinion.

Get a Taylor or Martin, if you can afford one that is.

Otherwise, Fender acoustics aren't too bad, but the best acoustic I've played, besides a Taylor or Martin, was a Takamine.

Stay away from Epiphones, they are not all that great.

Hi

I played bass as a teenager but gave up after a few years (circumstances etc ). My Dad's always had an acoustic / electric guitar (Yamaha) but i found it a little "stiff" if you see what i mean.

Anyway i bought a Squier Affinity Strat at Christmas and its all flooding back to me but i've found i'm trying to play acoustic tracks with the electric............. not good

This brings me to a choice of various acoustics that i now *have* to purchase

Can anyone recommend me a good acoustic for around £300 ($500 USD). I've been looking and trying out a few but the one that stands out to me is the Taylor Baby G. It's deep and rich and feels really easy to play

Am i just a dum newbie or is that a good choice?

TIA


Pete

For under $500, I know Alvarez makes a good acoustic, Yamaha has a few decent ones for around that price ( some of the cheaper Yamaha's aren't so nice, so don't get turned off by them ) and look at Washburn.

All else fails, you have E-bay.

[Will_Wood]

Washburn are the greatest "cheap" guitar makers...you could buy a really nice one for $300 -$500 ... But the best guitar makers in the world are Breedlove...(of course, their guitars can be anywhere from $2000 to $20 thousand...)

Hey, thanks for that guys

Okay, so i'll take a look at some Washburns. To be fair, i did take a look at a 3/4 Dreadnought at the same time as the Taylor Baby. At the time i thought the Taylor had the edge

The Washburn didnt sound as rich but maybe i wasnt comparing like for like, as the Washburn 3/4 was nearly $100 USD cheaper.

Thanks for the info. if you can recommend any of the Washburns then please let me know

Washburn D10S is my guitar...I use it for gigging...

[*Buzzer*]

Thanks Will

I didnt get a chance to have a play on the D10S (there werent any in)

.................. but i did get a chance on one of these. Very rich and smooth action

Washburn EA10



LOL i think i'm getting closer but really want to try a few more Tanglewoods and Alvarez first

An Epiphone acoustic is in my, and in most peoples opinion much better than a Fender acoustic... Personal thing I'm sure, but I'd disagree there.

Can't go wrong with a Yamaha...

[adhaudio]

...definitely check out Taylor, if you have the $...also have a look (listen) at some used guitars...if you can't get a Taylor--whatever you buy consider having the neck "bolted" into place by a reputable luthier.
