best acoustic guitar $700 image
OctoNightK
I'm looking to buy an electric acoustic guitar. I'm an intermediate player so I want something that isn't cheaply made but it doesn't have to be pro material either. I'm looking to spend no more than $700. Any suggestions or at least a band I should look at?
Answer
No one can ever tell you which guitar you should buy because everyone has their own likings. Go try a whole bunch out until you find one you like. The thing i look for the most is neck comfort. If its not narrow or thin or thick enough to your liking don't get it because it'll make you hate playing it.

I am thinking of buying a used acoustic guitar that has brand new strings... what would be a good price for it?
Answer
A decent beginners acoustic guitar like a Yamaha FG700S would cost about $200 new. I've looked on Ebay though and they're still around $175 even for a used one. A Yamaha FG720S is about $280 new though and I got one on Ebay recently for $170 including the shipping. That was a pretty good deal and made a great gift for my daughter. My personal opinion as a player for 40 years and teacher for 30, is that Yamaha makes the best beginner level guitars and it's well worth the money to get an FG700S or FG720S with a solid spruce top. They are great guitars for the money. You can get a cheaper guitar but they don't play or sound nearly as nice as the Yamahas. As JCR said though, either buy from a store or have an experienced guitarist check out a used guitar for you before you buy it if you're new to guitar.
If you're looking for something a bit higher end, I can tell you that I recently got a very nice Martin OMC-1E on Ebay for $700. Those cost about $1200 new when they were made (that model is discontinued), so I think I got a good deal on it.
To get a decent quality used acoustic guitar though, I'd look to spend at least $150. You might pick up a Takamine Jasmine or Epiphone DR100 with a laminate top for about $75, but they're only $99 brand new and the plywood top just doesn't have the tone of a solid wood top. Spend a bit more and I think you'll be happier.
