Hi,

I'm planning to buy a semi-acoustic by end of Dec. Any suggestions of models?
Do you know of any sale coming up?
 
Taylor or Martin should be fine. I would love to try the Alvarez Yairi though.







(or perhaps you can provide more information like budget for instance)

I'd love to get a Taylor but it's kinda over my budget. My budget would range around $500-600+It
It would be better if there's a sale coming up.
 
My bad. No idea how I could have missed that! So he wants a semi-hollow.
At that price range it's pretty tough to find a great semi-hollow.

Perhaps you can wait for a sale at SL (if there is one) for either a Epiphone Dot or Casino (depends on your ideal body size and pickup type you want). The Riviera has in interesting sound with the mini-humbuckers. Ibanez Artcore models are surprisingly decent at their low price tag. Also at SL.

unless he had mistakenly addressed his wants...

Secondhand Artcore/Dot.
Although you can try Samick's semi-hollow series, great stuff. I have a lower end one, uses Grover tuners and good hardware, decet sounding pups. Get a higher end one and it should trump the Dot/Artcore imo.
 
Hmmm i have seen many guitar manufacturers advertise electro-acoustics as semi-acoustics. I don't know about semihollows, i've not ventured there yet, but for electro-acoustics, i think Maestro, Takamine and even Swing are within your budget and worth a try. Yamaha too, if you get them from Luther. Taylor Big Baby might be your thing too.
 
I laike the PRS SE Semihollow :P. You can prob scrounge one in 2nd hand? Very rare though

Oh, and CK Music end of year sale? Hamer Echotone maybe?
