new acoustic

any body can crank up their distortion and play their favorite metallica song. dont get me wrong, i love it too, but there is nothing better than sitting down with an acoustic and being your own audience, (any body know what i'm talking about?). the only thing is my acoustic is old(used to be my dad's,like 8 years old) and the fretboard is waering away(it was cheap:$90). its done me well, but i think its time for me to buy a new one. does any body have any recomendations on what kind of acoustic i should get? my price range is like $400-$450. any info will help. thanks. :cool:

Yamaha FG720S is on sale for less than 300 and it's one helluva guitar. I was playing one in my local shop yesterday and it was all I could do not to buy it. I still think about that guitar and it was two days ago. I also like alvarez guitars, I currently own a Martin and know exactly what you are talking about. I love sittin and strummin on that bad boy. :cool:

Yeah, Yamahas are really good and they're usually fairly cheap.

my yamaha is nearly 20 years old and i still play it sometimes.


ive been checking out ovation guitars tho. or applause if you dont have tons of money. nice quality.

I have a washburn D-10 my grandpa bought for me. It is a great guitar, and i belive it was around the $325 range...

its something worth checking out... :)

EDIT: here is a link, they have droped the price quiet abit sence mine was bought. and this one looks alittle differnt than mine, i guess its just differnt years :confused:
