If you could get any type of ACOUSTIC guitar, What BRAND would you get?

Just wondering...


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It's very hard to say here, Martin makes a nice one but so does Taylor, Ovation, and many others that I could name. I play classical guitar but I was in the Guitar Center to buy a new classical and thought I'd look at the acoustics, I've never owned one, well to my surprise I found a Yamaha, they had two and I loved them both, one was an electric cut away, and the other was a plain acoustic, the price of the electric was $250.00 and I was quite surprised at the sweet sound that it made. I wanted an inexpensive one because I wanted to spend my money on the classical. This is what I tell everyone who asks my advice, go to the Guitar Center and tell the clerk what style you want and sit and play all the ones that are in your price range, sometimes price doesn't matter, I've found inexpensive ones that I liked better then the more expensive ones. One thing you can not tell someone is what guitar is for them, you have to feel the action, see if feels good in your hand, and another important thing is that it has to have that sound that YOUR looking for, one guitar may have a great sound to someone else but not to you. So sit and play with them and make the desicion according to what feels and sounds good to you. By the way the Guitar Center is very good with returns, I've taken back guitars after three weeks, with no problem, the'll give you back your money or another guitar. Oh and they also have a lot of little rooms where you can sit and play to get the feel and sound of the guitar.
