I'm looking for a new guitar

- an acoustic one

- without cutaway

- dreadnought

 

I don't know much about guitar brands , I only know Gibson,takamine,Art lutherie,Martin,fender

 

Any recommandations ?

 

Thanks!

ok: NO fender (they do electrics very well, but screw up acoustics

gibson; very expensive, i'd choose another brand

 

try the guitars from Crafter or Takamine, they have very good ones for a fair price!

but have a look and try them out at your local store! you MUST do that!

 

watch out that you have a massive wood top.... and it needs to feel and sound right to you ( = the most important thing!)

 

 

also:

how much do you want to spend? are you a beginner ? (or why else don't you know about guitars?)

do you need a pickup system?

 

 

but the best way is always to go into a store and play all the stuff you want - if they won't let you, it's a bad store and you'll have to look for another one.

Make this list for your self:

 

1: What's my guitar playing skill?

2: What for guitar do I want, beginners? Mid or pro... or something else?

3: How much do I play?

4: What will be my future with the guitar?

5: How many money do I want to spend for the guitar?

6: Do I want to record the guitar for an album?

7: Do I want to perform with the guitar?

8: What style do I play?

9: Did I ever had a lesson?

10: Do I need it for a band?

 

Answer these questions and post the result, this will help finding a well priced guitar.

You don't wan't to buy an high priced Gibson, but just started playing..

 

And another good brand: Taylor

I already have 3 guitars , and play more than 8 years ...

I want to spend max 800 Euro...

And I do need a pickup system

I can play guitar pretty good , I guess ...

but I don't know much about guitars .. :D

just basic things

ok, i guess you are looking for a Guild GAD 50E! about 800€, pickup system, dreadnought without cutaway, available as sunburst and natural. (chris is using a guild guitar at the moment, btw.)

or try a MARTIN GUITARS DX-1E (~700€)

TAYLOR 210E NEW (~800€)

 

but you need too try that out, hear the sound and feel the guitar anyway!

Martin guitars are my personal favorites. :nice:

First decide which kind of guitar you want to purchase?after that you can select brand..

there are lots of brans available ..

Tyler Mountain TG4 Acoustic Electric Guitar is good one which is Brand New Guitar With 2 Year Limited Warranty

some of its feature..

# Rosewood bridge

# Rosewood fingerboard

# Sealed tuning machines

# Active pick up with 4 band EQ

# Holographic abalone binding

never go for a certain brand!! try out everything available... i went in the store, took this crafter i never heard of and found this one to be the best!

Look at Waldens. Very high quality, I bought one for about $340.

btw, "new guitar":

damn, i shouldn't have tried this american deluxe stratocaster and the john mayer signature stratocaster... they are so damn awesome! and forget about american specials, they are stupid.... (and i cannot afford any of these! =( )
