Just a thought, my Yamaha Revstar has awful sound.

I wouldn't recommend.

Good Post JR29, somewhere

Check out Takamine's, too.

Also, bring a buddy. Have him/her play the guitar for you and stand out in front. Guitars sound remarkably different from that vantage point than they do when you are playing them.

Awesome. Thanks to all for your input. Will be shopping around for sure. I've actually been playing a haromony 3/4 archtop made in 1930's ! My other gear is packed away, so this guitar has been my house instrument for some time. I picked it up in a small place and it sounded very warm and was easy to play (action set up low to the fretboard) for an arch.

Appreciate the feedback.

If you have access to a good store or stores, play as many as you can get your hands on. Tone & neck comfort & size & playing style are all subjective factors, so find one that speaks to you.

In that price range, Martin's 15 series offers excellent, all solid wood (mahogony) guitars. I've had a D15 for nearly 10 years. (I think Jay played a 15 series a few years ago). Martin's 16 series is also excellent. Not sure what Taylor has at that price point new, but they are popular. Canadian-made Seagull guitars are excellent, too, for even less than your stated price range.

I'll be interested to hear what you find; let us know.

I have always liked the Alvarez acoustic guitars. I am not a great guitar player by any means and my current one is a D series acoustic.

Shop around, play different instruments. Martins or Taylors in that price range would be a good place to start.

Guitar purchase

Post by Thomas_J_Foolery »

For all you musicians / guitarist out there....If you had between $750 and $1,000 to spend on an acoustic guitar, what would you buy? I've been playing for several years and want to upgrade to a nicer instrument. Any advice or suggestions? Used vs New ?
