Members C.B.O. Posted November 8, 2008 Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 I'm looking to buy an acoustic guitar but not sure what to get. I want one that has a nice warm sound and is nice to play. The thing is, is that I'm not looking to spend 1-2000 dollars on it. Maybe around 500. So give you thoughts on what I should get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Queequeg Posted November 8, 2008 Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 factors that might influence your decision...how long have you been playing?what other acoustics have you played that you liked? (and why?)what kind of music do you play?do you strum or play fingerstyle?do you need electronics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kimona Posted November 8, 2008 Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 Nice, warm sound... and nice to play? I would suggest the Seagull S6 Cedar. They go for $397 everywhere, but right now you can get one at Music123 with a 15% discount... so just $337! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TESmith Posted November 8, 2008 Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 Each has a different idea what sounds right to their own ears I would suggest look at Crafter, Perhaps one of the Yamaha FG series, You can sometimes get an EPI Masterbilt under your price cap. Allready mentioned was the Seagull, really the list can go on and on. There are so many different good guitars in this price range, we all find different models appealing, so what I love you may find to be so so, It is so often said but try and get to different stores and take the time to play the guitars, to hold them, look at them and experience them.....as an added bonus if you have a friend that plays drag them along they can play the guitar and you can here it from the other side of the guitar as well. If you get your thoughts centered on a guitar that is not available locally and you have to order unseen online, check their return policy, if you get one you do not care for, send it back and shop some more! Take your time, enjoy the process, it can be fun! Here is pictures of a Crafter, GA-7 cedar top model, nice warm sound, it is a 350.00 guitar.

Members Fred Fartboski Posted November 8, 2008 Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 MF has an Epi Masterbilt AJ500M for $449. The "M" stands for mahogany and that's going to give you the "warm" tone you're looking for.http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Masterbilt-AJ500M-Advanced-Jumbo-Acoustic-Guitar?sku=519028 Everyone on this board will tell you Masterbilts are great guitars for the money.
