Dreadnough around 1200$
 

Hello everybody.
This is my first post here.

I'm looking for a new acoustic guitar: Dreadnough, with electronics and natural color.
I play mostly rock, rythm guitar, I like to play quite hard.
My budget is around 1000 €, what would be around 1200 $ if I'm right. I'm from Spain.
I've seen different models I like:

-Martin DRS2
-Takamine P2DC
-Takamine EF341 (I don´t like the color)
...

Which one do you think is better?
Any other recommendations?

Thank you very much in advance!

Check out a Larrivee d-03 if you get the chance.

Oh yeah, welcome to AGF!

I agree...install a pickup and go.

Great option!

Also check out the Taylor 210e or 210e Deluxe.

Martin DRSG or Eastman E10d, E8d, E20d and install a K&K Pure mini pickup for 100 bucks

Taylor 110 or 210 and install a K&K Pure Mini pickup.

Dreadnough around 1200$
 

Some considerations in your price range:

Eastman E20D, E10D, E6D, E8D (You’ll need to have a pickup installed in the Eastman.)

Taylor 110e Walnut (Good sound and very nice pickup)

Martin DRS2 (Very nice guitar with a Martin traditional tone. You’ll want a pedal or preamp to improve the amplified tone).

Yamaha A series (Excellent acoustic/electric guitars in the price range. The neck is a bit too slim for me, but you might like it. )

Welcome, Yamaha A3R or Martin Custom D or maybe even an Eastman.

If you want loud go with an Eastman

New:
Eastman
E10 or 20D Adirondack Top Lots of headroom, punchy and powerful.
E6 or E8D Sitka Spruce Top a little less headroom and warmer.
Larrivee'
D03 -nice balance and loud enough.

Used:
Martin D15M with pickup- Warm and lots of bottom

Gibson J15 with pickup

This Martin

Excellent playability and tone.

I'm not familiar with the newer Guilds, but those would be another option.

Also the Larrivee D-40 or SD-40.

Blueridge.

Martin Road Series dreads are nice, I've liked almost every Martin Road series I have played.

Larrivee D-03 is as good as it gets for the money

This all day long. And you can find D-03’s used with electronics under 1K easily. I own 2 D-03’s. Best guitar for the money I have ever owned.

$1,200.00 can get you a great used guitar.
Never buy used without a test drive but be sure to consider them in your search.
