i dont have one and have never played one, but i hear theyre underwhelming.
whats your price range? i hear takamine are good relatively cheap acoustics.

[Anothe ERIC CLAPTON wannabe]

i can spend about $1500... and takamines are a bit more 'twangy' than the tone im looking for.

Umm well Fender acoustics are pretty good, not the best though. I'd recomend the DG10.

Heres the specs.

Hope that helps

you're gonna spend $1500 and buy a fender?

seriously????

try gibsons, santa cruz, taylor.......f-bomb, if you're gonna spend that kind of money on a guitar at a store, tell them to ship an f-bombing martin in! and if it's politics that they won't ship one in, then get a better guitar shipped in, for the martin price, because you can't have the guitar you "want."

also, there is ebay.

and i also tried out a gibson j-45 and a j-50, the j-45 sounded good but still 'twangy' compared to clapton's tone.

i will be trying out some guitars later tonight

[annoying_2001]

please, just don't buy a fender acoustic

[Anothe ERIC CLAPTON wannabe]

ok, no-no to fender acoustics...

[adds]

Come on people i mean fender acoustics you gotta love that ply wood sound .

[Anothe ERIC CLAPTON wannabe]

I live in the philippines. for an unknown reason they dont ship martins here. even ebay doesnt ship martins here. also tried out a taylor. sounded great. i almost got the tone i was looking for.

[Metfan1886]

My mom has a really cheap fender ($200). It plays pretty good but my sister's $150 Washburn sounds a hell of a lot better.

[bink2112]

Definitely go with a Taylor, imo they are just as good if not better in some ways than Martins

[mantra]

I've heard good fender acustics and also have a 12 string one that sounds pretty good. Just go and try some out?

[Anothe ERIC CLAPTON wannabe]

That taylor sounded good. i might try some more...
ok. no to fender acoustics.

[mantra]

Suit yourself.

[dansbass]

My DG14 Sounds classy.

They're not all bad.

If you really want Fender then I suggest to get a Guild guitar. They are top quality acoustics made by Fender.

Come on people i mean fender acoustics you gotta love that ply wood sound

Correction: That 1.5k plywood sound

I know for a fact that if you find the guitar you want and contact the distributor then you will be able to have it sent directly to your door, just ask for a p&p quote.
