New Acoustic Guitar - how much for a good-un

veryangryman · 2007-12-17 15:49:39

Anyone can give me a price guide on this? One with a decent sound. I dont mind paying good money, but just would like to get an idea soz i dont get ripped off. Also, is there any point in haggling with the stores :D

Not much point in haggling on the price of the guitar, but they might throw in some free leads, capo, picks, etc., depending on how much sh*t you buy. For an acoustic guitar you'd be lucky to get some free picks.

You can probably haggle if you buy second hand or private.
As Xavi said - Instruments is really the place to ask. Those ppl knows best.

The shop I bought my autistic guitar in (years ago) was a small one and they threw in a book case and picks.

Depends, do you want a brand new one or are you willing to get a second hand one?

Whatever money you have to spend will go alot further if buying 2nd hand. Just have someone with you who knows what they're doing.

He says he doesn't mind paying, so I'll advocate Simon and Patrick as ever. They do some for higher money than the basic models that are really stunning.

In descending order:

A guideline price would give you a lot more recommendations. A taylor, yamaha or S&P would all be viable options under a grand and give you a nice sound. Just get something with solid woods. Not laminated
