Members deadstring Posted July 11, 2007 Members Posted July 11, 2007 hi friends,thinking about buying an electro acoustic need help to decide what ones the best for the money,my options are(fender cd140sce or crafter de6)
Members guitarist21 Posted July 11, 2007 Members Posted July 11, 2007 Neither of those guitars are particularly great, IMO. I'd recommend Washburn or Ibanez in that price range. Ellen
Members deadstring Posted July 11, 2007 Author Members Posted July 11, 2007 thanks ellen i will have to think about it a bit more now:confused:
Members DonK Posted July 11, 2007 Members Posted July 11, 2007 I've played a few Crafters and have liked them, much better than the Fenders IMO.
Members athomas Posted July 11, 2007 Members Posted July 11, 2007 well there are too many choices with guitars, so you have to pick what you like. I really don't like the your two choices, but if I have to pick between them I would go for a Fender.
Members guitarist21 Posted July 12, 2007 Members Posted July 12, 2007 Check out the Ibanez AW130BGECENT. It is similar to the Fender but, IMO, more well-made. For the record, if I had to chose between the Fender and the Crafter, I'd pick the Crafter. I've not had great experiences with Fender acoustics. Ellen
Members garthman Posted July 12, 2007 Members Posted July 12, 2007 Crafter every time - if you can afford the DE8 or DE12 so much the better (these have LR Baggs pickups so better than the DE6). But the DE6 is OK and is better than Fenders, Washburns or Ibanez (IMO, of course)
Members LaurentB Posted July 12, 2007 Members Posted July 12, 2007 Also, try out the very specific guitar you think of buying, if possible. Especially in the midprice range I've experienced guitars for the same price to be either very mediocre or quite good. And that also goes for guitars of the same brand and model.
Members deadstring Posted July 12, 2007 Author Members Posted July 12, 2007 thanks everyone, the more ideals you give the better
Members GondoGuitar Posted July 18, 2007 Members Posted July 18, 2007 Crafter by far over Fender. Great value!! You also might look at Sierra and Walden. Aria has some really nice instruments also. You really need to play a few and find the right one for what you want.
