Buying a new acoustic guitar and need advice?

I got a 3/4 size guitar at a yard sale real cheap about a year ago, but I've been practicing and would like to get a better quality acoustic guitar now, but I have no clue what type I should get. If anyone is into guitars and knows anything about them, can you give me any good make/models of guitars and basic price ranges for them? Thank you!Buying a new acoustic guitar and need advice?
It kinda depends on how much you wanna spend and how much stuff you want with it. I would look on the musicians friend or guitar center. I got one from Costco actually. It was a Yamaha FD01 and I really like it. You can browse through stuff by price range on websites to look for yourself, but on Musicans Friend they have a yamaha EDF01 for 200, an Ibanez SGT120NT for 180. When you get in the more expensive price ranges, an Taylor is gonna be nice, Martins are nice, Alvarez, Ibanez, Fender, Epiphone. Really it's a preference of sound and feel. The best thing to do would be to go to a local music store and see what feels and sounds best to you. If you have a guitar center nearby go there. You can wheel and deal the workers like at a yard sale, compare prices and what not. When I was shopping for an acoustic I told them about the one at Costco and the sales rep said she'd throw in a gig bag, strings, pics, and a tuner for free. It might be a little awkward doing it but the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Also, if you're looking to go Acoustic Electric look at the same brands.Buying a new acoustic guitar and need advice?
well i just ordered this acoustic--Rogue RA-100D Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar and it was only 70 bucks and i have read alot of good things about it, it should be here on friday if this is still open i will post how good it is
Well, some very good quality guitars are Martin, Ibanez. By the way, if u have the money, get a 12-string guitar, the sound is amazing!
Hi, most brands have a higher end range, best is to go to the store and try a few out and make your decision, then look around online second hand for a real deal. Good luck
