Members c_corie Posted December 23, 2003 Members Share Posted December 23, 2003 I'm thinking that maybe with my Christmas money, that i should finally get a decent acoustic, I primarily play electric and have good gear for that but i dont really have a good steel string acoustic.(Have a cheap nylon for beating around.) I was thinking: Epiphone EJ200, Humming Bird, or Dove? Any other ideas by dif brands? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mark Nason Posted December 23, 2003 Members Share Posted December 23, 2003 Here's what you should do.... Save up $450 (if it takes you a while, do it, you'll be happy that you did) Then hit the net looking for a used.... Martin 00-15 or 000-15. All solid Mahogany guitar. Perfect for Coldplay type stuff (I'm pretty sure their singer uses one). I have one and I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matt McGriff Posted December 23, 2003 Members Share Posted December 23, 2003 I agree. Don't waste your money on an Epiphone if you have ~$400 to spend. There are a lot better guitars out there. Martin 000-15, D15 (used), or a Taylor 110, a Seagull S6+, Breedlove Atlas series, and the list goes on.

Chris Martin (coldplay's lead singer who just happens to have the same name is C.F. Martin & Co.'s Owner/) uses a 15 series.Not sure what size,but it is either a D-15,OM-15, or OOO-15.I like the 15 series....I wanted one when I first had GAS for an acoustic.I might get one....either that or save up for an 18.

Members riotshield Posted December 24, 2003 Members Share Posted December 24, 2003 Get an Epiphone PR-350SM at guitartrader.com for $489 shipped. It comes with a hardshell case, is all solid-wood (spruce top, mohagany sides/back), and has very nice binding on the body/neck and Grover tuners. I have one and it sounds great for the price. I'm a fan of 2 of the bands you mentioned (sans Coldplay) and it sounds good for that type of music (better than the EJ-200 I had). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
