    is that a 5 piece body?or only 4?

    i would not waste money on those cheap guitars...not after already wasting so much on so many of them.

    yeah, you really do get what you pay for, but if its really cheap then it might be worth messing about with. saying that i bought a telecaster copy by shine for about £80 and i love it, the clean sounds are better than my Epiphone les paul custom but doesnt compare for dist.

  4. Acoustic Guitar, What Should I Look At.

    Take a peek at these topics and see if they help:

    Best Acoustic

    Best acoustic #2

    There are a few more that the search turned up so you may want to try searching "best acoustic" here on the forum.

    The J-200 is sweet and most anyone would be happy with it. Play the one you plan to buy first though and make sure the frets are dressed well and she is straight, etc. I'd also take a look at the Takamine TNV760S Tak TNV760S She is a beauty and all the Tak's I've played are extremely nice.

    If you want a killer sound for about half the price of your budget go check out an Alvarez AJ60SC Alvarez AJ60SC They run about $600 USD here. You should be more than impressed.

    Also try a Takamine EG523SC if you have the chance. About 1/3 of your budget but you will be impressed.

    Check out Garrison Guitars also. Again, less than your budget but perhaps the best acoustic I've ever heard......really. Not sure if you can get them in the UK though so you may have to research that. Check out the G41 and the G50 although ALL of their models sound amazing, and yes, I mean amazing. Play one....you'll see. (I sound like a commercial for these guys!)

    It really depends on the wood selection you want also. I like the rosewood body/spruce top combo in an acoustic but maple/spruce like the 523 have a nice clear sound.

    I think you can spend a lot less than your budget and get a guitar that sounds exactly like you want it to. Good Luck and let us know what you end up with.

    Hey Thanks for the advicei really like the J 200 but its double my price limit, the thing is this guitar is being bought for me for my 18th birthday, so i really want this guitar to be the only ill have to the day i die, so i really need to be something special :D

    im really likeing the Gibson > Southern Jumbo and J45

    or maybe a martin :D i think my best options is really take a few hours and try everything i can
