Anybody want to suggest a good acoustic guitar? I have a few ideas, but need more. Plus, I only have $250 to spend, so I can't afford anything really fancy. I just want a good sounding, solid quality guitar. Thanks

if i were you i would buy a used guitar. I got a 1200 guitar for 600.
as far as specific guitars i would stay away from fender acoustics. Seagull guitars are really good, handcrafted in canada but decently priced.
or an alvarez those are really sweet sounding guitars, so crisp and bright.

id say buy a cheap one that sounds alright and then learn to play really good on that then buy a sick one

I already have a really shitty one I got at a rummage sale. I'm ok at playing it, but the guitar sounds like crap. I want something better, but don't have a ton of money to spend.

I like the idea of a used guitar, I'll call some local shops and see what they have.

i like takamines. my friend who is a super good bass player and needed a bass borrowed mine, so i have his takamine acoustic right now. It's around 250, but the action is a little high.

CTripper knows whats up. I have a high end tak and it sounds so sweet. Fortunately, their lower end stuff still sounds pretty good, and the action is fairly low.(I say that because most cheaper guitars have really high tension and action which sucks, especially learning barres). Good luck
