Name some good acoustics for around $300

[prochembr0]

I'm looking for a nice guitar that is suited for modern alternative rock acoustic sounds. I'd like it to be mellow, not bright.

Save up some extra cash and get a Seagull M6 Cedar

Cedar top + Mahogany back and sides = Mellow

Hi Rada

+1 on the Cedar plus hog = mellow, thing.

Seagull is a good move, as is Washburn.

I'm whoring this model but I just got an Alvarez RD8. I read every review I could find on it before I purchased it.
It's 220$ on Musiciansfriend.com and it comes with a locking hard shell case.
If you use at 2mm pick or fingers it's very mellow and warm.

Alternative rock acoustic sounds?


Fender Sonoran - I {censored} you not. It's THE best guitar for alt. rock. It records like a dream and sounds absolutely killer behind distorted guitar. Everything else just sounds too pretty.

I'm an alt. rocker myself...when we were recording our EP, we had a few acoustics at our disposal, including my art & lutherie wild cherry... it sounds beautiful, but then my drummer showed up one day with this Fender Sonoran he pulled out of his closet and we decided to give it a whirl with recording. I didn't even look at my Art&Lutherie the rest of the session. It may sound dry on it's own - but you put a mic in front of it and it shines.

Art & Lutherie Cedar dreadnought. They are mellow and about 240 bones. Very good sound.
