Ok everybody, I really need some suggestions. I'm playing a Johnson guitar because it was really cheap and I wanted to make sure that I would love playing. Well, now I'm looking to upgrade. I would like to keep it under 500. Please let me know your suggestions. I currently like the Martin DXM. Thanks!

Seagull Seagull Seagull

s6+Spruce.

Or get a used taylor 310 or 314. That'd rock.

lemme quote what i said in ur other thread

becareful with alverez's, some of the most amazing and crappy guitars ive played were alvarez, so if ur buyin one, always compare it to some martins or taylors, if it doesnt get close or surpass them keep looking

The Ibanez AW100CE is nice, 500 bucks.

i'd have to disagree with that, I like the D-15 more than a lot of more expensive martins and so do many of the people I let play my guitar. Maybe it is just my particular D-15 ( I know the quality control on the lower models is a little shady) but I think it is an awesome guitar. You would probably have to pay a little more than $500 but the fact that it is solid wood is worth another 50 bucks or so I think.

and if you by chance like the tone, and can deal with the nauseating mahogany top, then thats the guitar for you.

I hate the look of the mahogany top.
