What would you reccommend? I remind you, i'm not made of money!

I like ovation's sound and their applause are not bad too if you want a lower price. the only bad thing is you need to get used to the round back which is not as hard as it seems

adamondo · Post by **adamondo** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 5:00 pm

Maybe around 300-400 dollars? What are some good brands is what would help most!

Check out an Alvarez in that price range, or just wait a couple months and save up for a Martin or Taylor.

yeah, take a look at Alvarez. Tacoma makes some good stuff that's not too expensive. Personal preference would not even allow me to check out an ovation. I've nver heard one I liked (no offence to anyone here, just personal preference). Or, save up for a little longer and get something that you'll really wanna keep for a long time! Good luck!

I think most low end Martins aren't worth it.

But I could be wrong, I've never played that one..

Would you rather have an Ibanez?

I don't like Ibanez I feel their neck is too big

I don't think there is anything wrong with low end martins. last week i played a solid spruce top with solid rosewood back and sides alvarez. It sounded good but NOT EVEN CLOSE to the Martin DM. I don't know how they do it but Martin's sound better even if they are the "lower end" models.
