Are you looking for a nylon stringed classical guitar, or a steel stringed? What kind of stuff are you gonna play, country? rock? blues? jazz?
A great overall choice is Taylor. You should be able to find a good one on sale for $500. Martin is another great choice. I've got a couple of Ovations but I hardly use them anymore because they just don't have a rich enough tone for me. Actually, my favorite guitar right now is my Ibanez Steve Vai Euphoria EP9 which usually retails around $1500 but I got mine for $600. You can see a picture of my actual guitar at this site:

So, here's what I'd look for...Taylor, Martin, Takamine (yeah, they sound pretty good usually), Ibanez. There are lots of others, of course. Just find one that feels and sounds good to you.
Good luck, happy playing!

guitar purchase?
nymetsfan2
i want to buy a new guitar. im relatively inexperienced in playing but i practice every night and im definately getting better every day. right now i own a fender jaguar- which im not crazy about and then i have a gibson les paul standard- which i absolutely love.
i want to get an acoustic guitar or an acoustic electric but i dont really know that much about the brands and what a good quality guitar would be. money is not really an issue for me. im lookin in the 1500-2500 dollar range. i dont plan on ever performing so i dont need a real big loud one but i do want something that would give a good contrast to the ones i already own.
acoustic?
acoustic electric?
what brand?
anyone got any ideas?
Answer
If you aren't going to perform, then you don't need an acoustic electric. Go to a good store and start with a Martin D28 or D18 - that's what they all imitate. Then play Taylors, Gibsons, Alvarez, Guild, Takamine, and Breedlove.
Now, if you aren't near any good stores it's harder. Go to www.elderly.com and look around in your price range - any of the above brands are good. Elderly does a full set-up before thry ship anything. If you don't like the guitar you can return it without any hassle. If it were me, I'd go with a Martin D28 or the Taylor GS8.
