Ok well i saved up 470$ for a new acoustic/electric 6 string. I was looking at some takamine's(eg540)but i know there are other options. i saw some nice ibanez's on MF. What are some good sounding (plugged and unplugged) guitars that you would reccomend in my range.I have an ovation celebriy right now and i want something easier to play and no bowl.what would you buy? oh btw i play mainly rock based stuff so im thinking a solid spruce top.

Which Ibanez acoustics caught you're eye? Ibanez has some very nice acoustics in your price range. You could also check out some Washburn acoustics. Models like the D100 and such are pretty good and go for good prices.

[kooldood1]

yeah i also saw some nice washburns. i was looking at some of these ibanez's

first link isn't working for me but the second guitar lseems very nice, though i haven't tried either of those models before. i guess see if you can find those models and test them out to see what they sound like.

[kooldood1]

yeah i think im going to guitar center soon. they have a pretty big selectionn

[Mikky04]

I prefer the bottom one

[kooldood1]

thanks for that info, anyone else? yeah if i get an ibanez itll probably be the bottom one. i dont really like the headstock on the other one and the top one doesnt have grover tuners

[fatboy1]

you could try lag guitars there a french make
real nice guitars

[dadfad]

Ibanez has a couple of pretty nice ones in that range. Also, if you can find one, check out an Alvarez AJ-60. My son
bought me one for Fathers Day a couple of years ago. I have a number of fairly expensive guitars already, but I was
surprised by the Alvarez's quality and playability. He paid about $600, but you can find them for not much over $400.


...or with on-board electronics...

[Mikky04]

strange place for the pickup control thingy?

[kooldood1]

wow that second one looks really nice. im into cutaway guitars. i like to have the access when i need it.

[guitarstrummin63]

i can vouch for the ibanez aw-100s

they're pretty nice guitars for the money

[kooldood1]

well i went to guitar center and didnt play anything i liked in my range. all of the actions were too high and i wanted something i could take home right then. i think i may be getting some gigs soon so i may save up for something close to 1000$. i thinkits worth it. what do you reccomend around this price range?

[guitarfan19]

in that case its time to check out Takamine.

[flashfingerer]

then get a gibson but not on frigin ebay

[Graeme! Yes, Graeme!]

I can personally vouch for the excellence of Takamine guitars. Very versatile, and they sound wonderful when plugged in.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

i recomend you save up to $1200 and buy a taylor 300 series

[kooldood1]

i looked at the g series models they had there and i didnt really like any of them. it was probably the action i dont know though

[kooldood1]

i got a new alvarez...i started a topic in guitar q&a..thanks for all of your help

[Mikky04]
