    I've been acoustic-less for a while now, and I think it's about time I got back on the horse.

    I was thinking about the Taylor Big Baby, perfect for my budget.

    Any suggestions.

    Try and pick up something all solid wood. In that budget I realise that would be difficult... but if you can stretch it a little you might be able to afford a Simon & Patrick.

    Mail to see if it's in stock. Paypal to pay (or you can put a deposit down and pay later), dunno if shipping would be cheaper for as acoustic? For the guitar I've ordered it was $100 for shipping. Easy Peasy :D

    Edit -> Oh yeah, the tax bit, VAT plus guitar import duty of about 4%. All in all it shouldn't be more than the $ price for the guitar alone for your € total.

    Win, win, win.

    I got a Simon and Patrick from Musicmaker a while ago. It was on sale for 550, down from 600, and I have yet to hear a nicer acoustic in that price range. Solid Spruce top and handmade! :) Yummy! The solid cedar top has an interesting sound to it too. They still had one of those last time I was in if you feel like checking it out.
