Members mgauf Posted September 24, 2006 Members Share Posted September 24, 2006 I am looking for a recommendation(s) on a mid-price ranged ($500 tops) electric acoustic guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rusty_Chains Posted September 24, 2006 Members Share Posted September 24, 2006 The Alvarez AD70SC, MD60C, or FD60 are great guitars in that price range. The Seagull S6 folk cutaways are really nice guitars. The Alvarez MD60 would probably be my choice. I have 3 Alvarez and the MD60 would be the next one I would buy.

Members ESL94 Posted September 24, 2006 Members Share Posted September 24, 2006 I like the S6 - wider neck, if you like to finger pick. The Alvarez are also nice. I have played MD60 - very responsive, great strumming tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pipemaker Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 i agree the alvarez and the seagull are nice guitars, but for about $100 more than your base price i purchased a breedlove ac25sr+ with case... i spent $595.00 for the guitar and molded case about two years ago. the prices of the breedloves have gone up but they were going for about $800 plus then and by shopping around i found one at a little mom and pop guitar store and it happened to be a very sweet guitar... i have owned some fairly high end acoustic guitars and the ac ranks right up there for my purposes... just my two cents worth...

Members pipemaker Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 a couple of weeks ago i played a friends epiphone pr6 i think they are around $450... played sweet and sounded great plugged in... how much time have you spent in shops picking and listening to guitars in your price range?

Members Laserpuls Posted October 4, 2006 Members Share Posted October 4, 2006 I'd go Seagull S6. Broader neck, fine work. Love to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rickkkk Posted October 4, 2006 Members Share Posted October 4, 2006 I've seen Seagull mentioned a couple of times - can't go wrong there. Godin also produces a line called Art & Lutherie - less expensive then the 'Gull but still extremely nice (I have one and love it). Cheers !

Members stratman61 Posted October 4, 2006 Members Share Posted October 4, 2006 I have the Alvarez AD60SC elec and honestly I don't like it much. It sounds good plugged in but sounds too bright and cheap unplugged. I bought the Epi Masterbuilt dread and it sounds like an acoustic should. Also the Baggs IBeam sounds better than the Alvarezs' electronics, which has alot of bells and whistles to it. Just my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
