The Taylor 214ce-sb is an excellent electric acoustic guitar for the money. The updated visuals greatly enhance the desirability of the series. A perfectly gig-able, performance instrument.
If you want a large dreadnought with plenty of warm low end and resonance, the Gibson Songwriter series is definitely for you. The sound quality and attention to detail, especially considering the hand scalloped bracing incorporated into it's design, justifies the $2500 new price alone. These are common on the used market, though prices vary gre...
I'd say that the Epiphone EL-00 is the best gig-able, budget, electric-acoustic I've played so far. The ease of play and the sweetness in the sound quality both uplugged and amplified, coupled with the aesthetic presentation makes it a no-brainer.
I tried lots of acoustics in this price range and nothing touched it! It's held up really well to 2 years use and is a joy to play. If you want it to sound brighter (I don't, it's fine just how it is) you could always add a bone nut for peanuts. If you see one come up on the used market at a decent price: don't hesitate. Superb value.
The Eastman AC608CE is one of the finest acoustic guitars I've played. It sounds remarkably similar to the Taylor 12 fret and GC5, both guitars I loved. The GC5 is the superior instrument in the price point in terms of sound but you will compromise the cutaway and some finer appointments such as the extensive flame maple decor. If you love the s...
The Guild F-150RCE is a brilliant sounding guitar for singer songwriters. I enjoy the aesthetics of the guild and felt that the playability exceeded a lot of other guitars with the same shape in the price point. While their are certainly values on the market that exceed the guild (the Taylor GS mini and Eastman models come to mind) none are Jumb...
Overall, this guitar is worth every penny. The price of it was pretty decent to me wasn’t too much but I do wish it was cheaper when it first came out. I don’t recommend getting this if you are a new player though. If you are a new player I recommend just getting a cheap guitar to start on. But if you know what you are doing, there is no need to...
This is a really neat idea from Epiphone. I like that John Lennon played something very similar to this - that helps on the cool factor. I'd like to play the Gibson equivalent and compare the timbre. But this Epiphone is a good instrument capable of producing fresh, interesting tones. Recommended to anyone that plays acoustic and wants to experi...
This is a wonderful instrument. The luthiers at Taylor have come up with a nice all-around guitar that is equally at home strumming, picking, shredding, or being gently tickled. It is a highly responsive axe that is sure to satisfy even the pickiest player. Being on the pricey side, it can put a serious dent in the wallet, but it is not priced i...
At new you can find guitars for right at about $1900. That's a pretty good price for this guitar and you can certainly them into you lowering the price in many instances. I actually bought mine for right around $1300 or $1400 new about 10 years ago so you can wiggle the price down a little bit. This is a great guitar and I love the sound and loo...
