I don't condone that sort of idea... Fender has no place in the acoustic guitar world.... I suggest an Ibanez. and for that money you could get a low model Taylor.

I'd recommend not just going after guitars because of the name or what they look like. Find one that you like the sound and action of. Go to a music shop and try out the acoustics they have there. If you find one that you really like but its above your price range then look for it on e-bay. You can get other people to throw names and reputations around, but it you who'll be playing the thing and you who has to get on well with the guitar.

Having said that, if you're planning to sell the guitar on sometime later then going for a name brand (especially fender) will mean that the guitar will keep its price even though its second hand.

geez thanks, giant response from above guy.

Make sure you get a sturdy one too. The bridge has started to fall off of my one, which is very rock and roll but not very practical as the strings will soon be unplayable...

heh geez, how long have you had that guitar?

Maybe 10 years. It was second hand when I bought it and cost about £100 in the days before online purchasing (well you could buy stuff on line but we didn't have internet).

^wowee

May I suggest an Ovation? Not a traditional acoustic, especially with the roundback and all, but I have this awesome Ovation Celebrity acoustic/electric and I freakin love it! Beautiful action and really fun to play.

The roundback takes a bit of getting used to as it tends to slide down your legs when you play it but once you get it its easier to play. Also, since this model has really un-orthodox soundholes, some of the highs and lows are different than a tradition centre-soundhole guitar but try out an Ovation when you go to the guitar shop. Mine cost me $900 but there are others that can run for as little as $349.

That one sounds good. Also roundback are more comfortable to play if you're standing up, as they don't have the same sharp rims which jut into your groin or push the body of the guitar away from you when you're standing up. They do, however, slide around like little bitches when you sit with them.

yea the ovation sounds pretty sweet. http://www.guitaragent.net/guitars/O...s%20-%2009.jpg

my dad has a couple of ovations

why does everyone love the guitars I hate, I really dislike the ovations they just feel really fake

went to a geetar store, found this little number:

That looks good. Maybe a bit sunday-schoolish, but probably nobody will notice as long as you don't play it too near a church. Good cutaways!

Looks Nice.
