Buying a New Guitar

[iancarlson_33]

I'm trading in my mandolin (worth in the neighborhood of $300) and I'm getting an acoustic guitar. Any affordable recommendations that you guys have that I should look into?! Any help appreciated!!

I've been trying to find a Seagull cutaway for a good price forever, but I can't seem to do it.

As long as you make sure you get a solid top, there are some good options in the range you're looking at from makers such as Ibanez, Cort, Washburn, et al. As you'll see in many other threads, best thing to do is go to your local guitar stores and play whatever they have for sale. Are you planning to buy from the place that you trade your mando at? If so, that might help you negotiate a good deal.

Rob made a thread this month about beginner guitars that you probably could have referenced. I can assure you the info he provided was more insightful and learned than the above posts.

if ants suck so much then leave, who said anything about how much i post or about being superior. you onviously have cognitive problems

[JTR&PIG]

its the newbies who start a thread rather than search it, i mean we all made that mistake once, when you were brand new

[JTR&PIG]

so give the kid a break, no one here is perfect, i used to do the same thing and Rob would get on me like none other, relax

i didnt think what i said was so bad, initially

[AshkaanF]

Are you planning on spending $300?

For that price range check out the Epiphone Masterbuilt series and Takamines.

[iancarlson_33]

yeah i could spend $300..i'll check into those...

[TSilk]

Washburn D10S!

simple typo, you see the letter N is right next to the letter B on the keyboard.

[JTR&PIG]

too much drama on here, can't we all just get along, WE ALL STARTED THREADS WHEN THERE WAS NO CAUSE FOR IT...relax, it happens, so you get the same comments...oh well life goes on, its too short to get all crazy

yup, I'm sure it wasn't a typo, he really just doesn't know how to spell obviously. are you a moron or just grasping for anything to make yourself look better?

It seems to me that a lot of people here at ants are fuckheads and act like they know everything...

[GeorgeJr.]

^^ how do i act like i know everything? teach a person to fish and they can feed themselves for years. or something to that effect.

go back into your hole where you came from, your arguments have no basis in reality. your grasping at straws and its pretty obvoius to everyone here how limited your communication skills are.

i feel like i should be saying sticks and stones may break my bones, but words and name will never hurt me
