I've been playing electric guitar for about 2 months and am completley addicted, I practice around 2-3 hours a day, and on weekends even more then that. I play all sorts of metal, death metal, power, thrash ect. But I as most metal heads have a softer side :p and would really like to learn some acoustic guitar.

So basically I know very little about acoustic guitar and am looking to spend around $200 dollars, any advice would be great!

Don't know why, but whenever I think acoustic, I automatically think Yamaha.
I've always had good luck with em. Especially the inexpensive ones.

Check out the Yamaha FS700S. It was my first guitar and I loved it. I have purchased several since then that were a lot more money but not all were any better sounding or playing. I thought I was going to get a better guitar just because I was spending more money... not the case.

I'm normally a fender fan, but last year i bought a fender electro acoustic and the action is not that good - i've put extra light strings on it, which has inproved it's playability - but it could still be better.
