[hellmurderer]

Can anyone introduce a acoustic guitar for someone who wants to learn? His budget is about $300. Learning to play for his church... So I'm helping him o get some infomation on it... Thanks!


Note: He doesn't have any knowledge on guitars at all...

i'd recomand yamaha APX 300... its a lil off the budget, but you might be able to get it second hand at this price...

How abt a Maestro?

Their SD-1 with EQ really rock! Sound good and with a good plug in system also =)

hmmm, fina is good, u can find them at davis.. it is relatively cheaper and it has pretty good sound.. it's good for beginner i guess.

otherwise, jus meddle around. jus make sure the harmonics sound is good, bridge not too high for easier play and of cos it must feel good to you. if u not sure u can always try a high-end guitar first and compare with the one u think u might one to buy and see if it varies alot.

with some effort i think u can find a good guitar within the budget.

Good for beginners. I highly believe in their quality, in terms of finish etc.

Its in his budget as well!

maybe you can find some ovations around 500 in citymusic, off the budget but ask your friend borrow from his parents or something... i mean its ovation, you can just use it for your whole lifetime, in the studio, on the stage, at gatherings...

if u r not looking for any branded stuffs ... NIKKI - S$136/-
i've saw this ovation with electronic at this shop just opps guitar connection. at excelsior

i'm not too sure if it's good ... but if i wanna play for a church, i might wanna consider 1 acostic guitar that can b pluck into an amp.

just my 2¢

the Maestro one selling for $229. i think its called sd-1. Very good for its money. i mean VERY GOOD>

 

[Prataz]

The Maestro SD-1 also comes with pickup. If i'm not wrong, it's SD-1CEQ. I think it's going for $329. Quite good also =)

 

[hellmurderer]
