ACOUSTIC GUITAR

ok i have a nice old acoustic and its served me well but now its time for a new one and im on a budget. i only have 200 bucks and i know its not much at all but i wanna know whats the best acoustic i can get for that. i want something with good playability mostly because ive played alot of acoustics (including mine) that have pretty bad playability. thanx for your help.

which country you in

Yamaha makes some nice acoustics, but stick to the solid tops. I bought mine (FG-412S) for $350 CAD, i think, which translates to about $225 Yankee bucks. The "S" at the end of the model name tells you that it's a solid top.

Also, try Simon & Patrick, I've heard many people raving about them, they're supposed to be great value for the money, and they're all solid-tops. Apparently (according to their ads) the guitars sound better the more you play (something to do with vibrations affecting the solid top).

Hey, is your nickname a play on "Sailor Moon"?

I can't beleive you can get anything worthwhile for 200 bucks. Unless some ladies husband dies leaving behind a Martin that she has no idea of what the value of it was. Actually a friend of mine got a D35 Martin under those very circumstances for a hundred bucks. Ray Flack (famous country picker) got his favourite tele from a pawnshop for two hundred. And another friend of mine got a half decent yamaha acoustic with hardshell case and a tuner for 150.
For the kind of money. So I guess to contradict my initial statement I guess it can be done. It just never happens to me. Paid $2,300 for my D28 Martin and a thousand for my strat.

Like the song says..."You gotta shop around... :)
