OT: Acoustic guitar
|
I'm after a quality acoustic guitar, one that's nice and easy to fret and
less than £125.
|
By acoustic, I mean totally acoustic, no electrickery involved.
|
|
For that kind of money, Fender. Not the best thing in the world, but
entirely playable and not bad sounding. They're probably one of the easiest
to play acoustics around as they come from electric axe "stock" and the
leccy lads love a low and fast action.
|
Any recommendations?
|
Quality & =A3125 might be a little tricky but it depends what you're
|
Not really. Like I said: Yamaha FG310 for about 99 quid.
Leaving 26 quid to spend on a decent set of strings and a basic set-up.
|
If I had less than =A3200 to spend on an acoustic I agree that Yamaha is
a good choice.
|
One of the OPs criteria is "easy to fret".
All guitars are supplied to shops with a fairly high action, the set-up
will solve that one.
|
I mainly play electric. Is a decent acoustic set-up as little as =A326?
|
Job done.
|
|
Just for home use, messing around. I have a cheap and nasty one at the
moment which leaves grooves in my fingers when I play (sounds good, but hard
to play).
|
If you don't need to plug it in you can get a Fender CD-60CE for
£130.00
*ding*. I couldn't remember the model number/name, but that's the one. If
the OP has a "Sound Control" nearby, he'd be hard pressed to find a better
bunch of guys to sell him one too.

used to. Is this for home use, studio or are you going to gig with it?
|
|
I have a beautiful Takamine. I just can't play the thing.
|
I bet you can.
Whereabouts are you?
|
One of the few challenges I given myself that I've failed at. You can't
teach your self to play. At least I can't.
|
|
Can't give any recommendation. You're going too struggle to find
anything that is "quality" at that price. Acoustics are more
expensive than electrics, generally, for the same build quality.
The grooves in the fingers thing is just a matter of practice - your
fingers will toughen up.
Find a good music shop, tell them what you want, try lots of guitars.

Yamaha FG310 (or whatever the number is this year.)
|
Which is the F310 (is this the same?)
|
Probbly.
They change the numbers every now and then but the instrument is
basically the same.
Its a full size dreadnought thingy.
|
|
and have it set-up properly
