guitar search...

Post by DMBphan1 »

just wondeing if you guys have any suggestions for a guitar in the $300-500 range. I'd like to get an acoustic-electric but wouldn't mind sticking with a straight acoustic. I tried out some Takamine's and really liked them, but just looking for something with good sound.

If you can, go play a Dean Exotica QSE SP. I don't think there is a better guitar than it for under $700 or $800..........In my opinion, its one of the best values your going to find. As for the sound, check it yourself and be amazed its comming out of a $450-500 guitar. There isnt a guitar that looks nicer than it for under a grand either.

Only every time someone says "reccomend me a guitar." Sometimes I feel like I should be paid by Dean for all the good press I give them. I just can't get over how amazing a value they are.

i agree...these posts come up all the time.

maybe somone could compile a list of good beginner guitars with prices and make it a sticky.

or just start a stickied thread for people to recommed guitars.

just an idea...

I agree completely. Maybe Xoosh could make a stickied thread where everyone could post the good guitars in the sub $600 range, as that's what all the questions are about...

OR... (damn i'm going php crazy this week) we could make a type of "reviewing" system where we could input main guitars and rate/review them, and then people can search based on price range/brand... just a thought :-)

I could cook something up for both this guitar reviewing thing and for the mp3 submission system I disussed in the "For Xoosh, jkanter" thread. If kanter, xoosh, or pittman want me to work on these i'll do so. I just would like to know one way or another. Thanks
