In the market for an acoustic guitar

Discussion in 'The Musician in U' started by Hello there!, Sep 17, 2013.

  1. I'm looking for a used guitar that's no more than $200. My money is in cash; it's not worth the trouble of an online transaction, unless it's my only choice. I'm going to post ones I'm interested in to get your thoughts on them.

    ^ An Alvarez 5020. Seems like a good price and it's in good shape.
     
    An old friend said his roommate is selling a 'vintage Gibson Dove.' I looked up the price of it online.. and it was upwards of $3000! :eek: He's going to ask how much he wants for it. Doubt it'll be within my cheap ass range hahaha.

    ^ Fender F-65. Looks beautiful, and I am partial to Fenders (only brand I've ever owned). The only reason I would pick the Alvarez over this is because of the price.. but I think I prefer this to the Alvarez.

     
  2. My advice as far as buying an acoustic guitar for $200 would be: don't.  I have yet to play/hear/see an acoustic guitar for that price that isn't a complete piece of crap.
     
    Save more money, and buy a decent guitar.

    Oh man, thanks for that! An actual reason to set up direct deposit to my account!
