Acoustic Guitar Suggestions (*please read criteria first)
- no Seagull, Godin, Ovation, Rainsong, Mitchell (just not my style)
- Budget is $1500 and under (all in) - Playing style is fingerpicking/strum blend mainly focused around folk, country, soul, reggae. - I play medium strong, use finger tip rather than picks/nails, and don't like too bright or too mellow. - Mostly for accompany my singing in plugged/mic'd and unplugged scenarios - specific models pls - size from 000 to Jumbo - with or without electronics/cutaway (but looking for solid sound plugged and unplugged) - no black or other color guitars pls (mild sunburst ok) - new or used (but used is hard to find locally for me) - no boutique guitars pls - no bells and whistles that add to the cost and sacrifice on quality/sound Thanks in advance Last edited by microscope; 11-30-2017 at 02:31 PM. |

With no information about your playing style or tone preference, it's hard to offer suggestions. From what you've posted, I could suggest Taylor, Martin or Gibson, because they're apparently all the same to you.
Provide a bit more info and you'll get plenty of useful suggestions. |

Used Martin D-18 (2012 or newer).

Size between a 000 and a Jumbo means a Dread....
Within those criteria.... New $1,500 Martin, Taylor, Gibson or Guild dread. Pick your specific model based on what you want.. Used - $1,500 wil get you a J-45, D-18, or Taylor 510... For me personally - I would do used as you can get a lot more guitar for the money.. I would take a used D-18 over a new 15 series Martin.. But that's me.... |

Not knowing your approach and taste, I'd recommend finding the best pre owned Dred or OM sized Martin, Taylor or Larrivee that you can.
If you could get a Martin 000-18 or Taylor 414 or Larrivee L series, I think you'd be happy. They are all excellent and all have their own tone Quote:

I agree...I loved (now sold) the simple, no frills look and great sound of my Martin 000-15M.

It's hard to find good used guitars where I am, and I'm not so comfortable buying used from away because I prefer to test it out in-person with an expert buddy of mine. What other store-order guitars might you suggest? Thx |
