What guitar would you buy?

MindSculpture	Date: November 1, 2005 @ 8:18 AM I'm thinking of buying a new acoustic or possibly an electro-acoustic. I will be using it mostly for recording purposes. I have a budget of say upto £600. was thinking of maybe a Takamine or tanglewood. Any suggestions?
Traf	Date: November 1, 2005 @ 9:00 AM Take a look at some of the better Aria eleccto acoustics.. I'm not a fan of their electrics, but there acoustics are really quite unique. I have 2 and love them.. specially this one.. http://www.ariaguitars.com/jp/02prod/0103ag/nxp01.html You'll have to be able to read Japanese though..

Snoogans775	Date: November 1, 2005 @ 6:37 PM I have a Takamine electric acoustic classical cutaway. They have very good electronics, and I really despise the sound of average electric acoustics, so to satisfy me took some quality.
Alecs	Date: November 1, 2005 @ 6:50 PM i'd go with an ibanez artcore
hate9wicket	Date: November 1, 2005 @ 7:04 PM Well this is on my wish list http://www.carvin.com/images/gallery/AE185/product/3.jpg And here's some of the details http://www.carvin.com/products/guitar.php?ItemNumber=AE185
hate9wicket	Date: November 1, 2005 @ 7:42 PM Yeah, looked at the Taylor site, the T5 made me drool, but don't have 3 G currently.
theinsidekids	Date: November 1, 2005 @ 11:15 PM there's a few guitars I'm lusting after right now. A Martin SWOMGT, smartwood orchestra guitar, a '72 Fender Telecaster Deluxe, thinline or the solid body model, any full hollowbody, and a resonator. I think I'll end up with the Martin after a few months of being frugal.
Veracohr	Date: November 2, 2005 @ 12:47 AM I've got a Takamine electric-acoustic. I'm not sure of the model, I bought it off a friend quite a few years ago. I like it, but I admit I haven't played tons of different brands of acoustics. One thing that makes a steel-stringed acoustic so much better is Elixir strings. Comparitively expensive, but worth every penny.
Alecs	Date: November 2, 2005 @ 1:43 PM Really, Veracohr? I've heard that they aren't quite worth the ridiculous money.
Veracohr	Date: November 3, 2005 @ 12:17 AM Well I guess it's subjective, but they are the holy grail to me. Perhaps they just sound really good on my guitar?
MindSculpture	Date: November 3, 2005 @ 7:49 AM Thanks for the feedback guys. I really like the look of that Aria Rog very nice indeed. I fear a Taylor may be a little outside my budget for the moment. I will be trying a few out over the next week or so...I will let you know what i decide on
blueyes2112	Date: November 3, 2005 @ 7:57 AM I would tend to agree with Traf, I purchased a second hand (immaculate) Aria guitar from a great guitar shop in Runcorn, Cheshire www.fraliers.co.uk he does post out guitars too. My guitar cost me £200 but it plays like a dream its a 15 year old aria! Hear and see it on my page, but I would say for the money thery are awesome and very reliable.
laalaaloo	Date: November 3, 2005 @ 1:44 PM I like Faith guitars, there worth a look into.
GeneHilbert	Date: November 3, 2005 @ 1:59 PM I've played Takamine - don't like them as a whole. If you play a Taylor, you’ll never go back....... I've never played any Martin (I've played a lot) but none that plays as well a setup Taylor. For an acoustic gtr - they just kick ass.
GeneHilbert	Date: November 3, 2005 @ 2:06 PM Aria's are good for their price....... but shop around. As with all instruments some are better than others. And budget does dictate - but really any company, Yamaha, Martin, Taylor, Aria, Guild, Dean, Takamine, Larivee, Fender, Gibson etc.... all make fine instruments...... look around and find something in your price range that plays well that you like and can live with.......
roast	Date: November 4, 2005 @ 9:12 AM www.waltons.ie can give you a fairly good idea of guitars that you dont have to mail order for. Mostly Fender, Gibson, Epiphones, but theres a few classics thrown in too. Check it out.
chrismacmanus	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 5:10 AM Ever thought of looking at a Simon & Patrick, that's what I've got - you're talking around £500-600. They've got relatively high action which makes them sound great, but not extremely easy to play when you compare them with something like a Martin or some of the others mentioned abouve (Takamine, Tanglewood, Yamaha).
MrCam	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 5:15 AM Ive had a Simon & Patrick Luthier guitar for a couple of months now and I love it. I dont think you could find a better guitar for the price
Bhairava	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 11:08 AM I want the Simon and Patrick 12 string I've played it once and its so nice for the price.
marcosalvarez	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 12:50 PM Well..i have a tanglewood TW-155ST.. and she is a fucking beast!!
