best acoustic guitar 2000 image
Q. I am most likely moving to Copenhagen, Denmark in the fall and instead of bringing my acoustic guitar I am thinking of selling it here and buying a new, decent one there. Both as a means to not have to bring it and as a means for just a change. Answer in DKK or Dollars, please. Thanks!
Answer
I guess it really depends on what quality you want. I used to play acoustic guitar (classical music), and you get a wide variety of prices.
My cousin used to work for this large music-shop in Copenhagen, http://www.aage.dk/ .
If you go to the page click on "guitar og bas" in your left hand side, and then "guitarer" and then "klassisk/spansk". Then you get a price list of the classical guitars. Prices start at DKK 500 - but for a good one spend DKK 2000.
You can see another price list here for another shop:

Høfner Guitars are very decent, and you can get one for DKK 1100.
If you enjoy listening classical guitar music watch out for Kaare Norge, who is probably the best danish classical guitar musician. You can download samples of his music on his website http://www.kaare-norge.dk/uk_version/index.htm (scroll down on your right hand side).
He often gives koncerts - it is well worth going!

What acoustic guitar should I buy in my price range?
The Oasles
I have two electric and one nylon string guitar and have decided to buy an acoustic guitar with steel strings. It has to have a microphone and strap pins. I'm currently interested in the Epiphone EJ-160e and EJ-200CE, and it shall not be more expensive than the EJ-160e.
Thanks in advance!

I know this sounds strange, but in the price range you are looking at, I would check out Yamaha. They make several that would fit your budget, and even though they may not be the first brand that pops into most people's minds as far as guitars are concerned, their quality is excellent, and their sound projects really well. I have owned similar Epiphones to those you are referring to, and one of them was great, the others suffered from several quality control issues, and none of them were nearly loud enough unplugged. They all had very small, wispy frets, and the electronics were mediocre if not bordering on inadequate. If you like Epiphones, I would however check out the used market for the Masterbilt series. They still make a couple of them new, but seem to constantly be axing current models and re-rolling out old ones. With an Epiphone acoustic, always avoid mahogany. They sound dead, lacking bass and treble response, and do not resonate. However, one strum on a Masterbilt using rosewood for the body will make you think you are playing a $2000 guitar, and they are around the price you are willing to pay.
Good luck!
