What is the best Takamine Acoustic-Electric Guitar for under $700?

Lauren

I'm looking for a Takamine Acoustic-Electric guitar for my husband for Christmas. The only reason I know what brand I'm even looking for is because he had mentioned it. I know basically nothing about guitars. So, if anyone could help me, I would REALLY appreciate it. I don't really want to spend over $700 on the guitar itself. I plan on buying a case and a stand too, but that will be separate from the $700 guitar price. If anyone has any ideas for a Takamine Acoustic-Electric that's no more than $700, please let me know. There are too many model types, and I am so confused! :) Thank you!

Answer
In my personal experience with that brand of Guitar the best in my opinion is the Takamine EG530SC Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar. They sell online for around $600 which is right in your price range. They last a long time and the quality is amazing. I would highly recommend it. It isn't a beginners guitar and has all the bells and whistles pro guitarists look for. This guitar stays tuned very well and has a consistent sound. I think your husband would be very happy with this guitar for many years to come. They last forever and the sound quality never fades. I hope this helps, I know it is hard to make a decision without knowing much about guitars. This brand is a great choice though, your husband will not be disappointed with this guitar!

What is a good factory made 12 string guitar?

best acoustic electric guitars under 600 image

Q. I dont want to spend too much on it. like under 600. the music i play is like dave matthews band, john mayer, jack johnson, maroon 5, jamiroquia, jason mraz and zepplin is the music i want to play on the 12 stringer.

Answer
There is not much to choose from for under $600 in a 12-string guitar. The Yamaha APX700 12-String Acoustic-Electric is decent. I own the 6-string version.

Martin used to make the best one. The Martin D12X1 12-String Solid Top Acoustic Guitar. However, I'm told that is guitar may now be discontinued. Maybe you can find on on e-Bay or Amazon.

Breedlove makes one but, I have no experience with them. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Breedlove-Passport-PLUS-C250-SB-12-string-Acoustic-Electric-Guitar-889761-i1474866.gc

But by far the very best and cheapest 12-string is the Taylor weighing in at more than twice your budget. But, for sound and playability, this is the guitar you really want. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Taylor-GA3-12-Grand-Auditorium-12-String-Acoustic-Guitar-104495569-i1175351.gc

All the other 12-strings in your price range or below are, in my opinion, not that good. So, if you're considering one of those, I strongly suggest you go and play one first and see if you feel it sounds and plays ok for your taste. You might compare it to the Taylor and I think you'll agree with me.

What is an inexpensive but really nice guitar brand?

I'm looking for a new guitar and have been playin a cheapo guitar for about 6 months and I need a new one with a better sound. One that has a rich bass.

Answer
Acoustic Brands:
Washburn
Oscar Schmidt

Electrics:
Washburn
Ibanez
Squire (they do make nice guitars believe it or not)

Guitar Brands to avoid at all costs:
Martin (if under a grand)
Dean (if Under a grand)
Indiana (garbage brand)
Austin (unless you have it set up)
Gibson (if under 1500)
First Act (just no)

A fender would do ok. Also you can find a good custom build one for about a grand that is equivalent to one 3 or 4 times the cost at CHW Guitars Custom Shop. Their lowest line being 600 dollars for an electric and 1100 for acoustic, great guitars that outplay any ive ever played.
