Any 1 can give me idea what brand acoustic electric guitar should i buy? But my budget is only below rm1000... I Can't decide to buy wat brand guitar.. I just played guitar with only 3 month.. inspired by my friends.. i don't have enough experience about guitar .. I prefer to play fingerstyle.. which brand guitar will suit me?

takamine not bad

cort

What brand do u have in mind? And how much you know about acoustic? Have you test different size to see which suit u best??

Giving u a brand name will not solve ur problem. Here a thread i started describing how different wood affect tone. You can have a look.

U can shoot any question here. Will assist you as much as possible.

save up more and get a Taylor or Martin.

Did you know.. how much takamine g series acoustic electric guitar?

Thx.. between that i still cnt make decision what to choose.. I have Yamaha Lakewood Takamine in my mind.. but lakewood is too expensive for me.. Im a performer.. that why i need a better acoustic electric guitar.. and the place i live now don't have much guitar shop, so that i don't have many choices to test those famous brand guitar... gt any trustable online guitar shop can recommend to me?

With your budget, I would say to skip getting a guitar with a pickup as most of the electroacoustics in that range isn't good. You can add a pickup later if you want.

Anyway, if you are into fingerstyle, I would suggest getting solid top guitars with the mainboard wood as cedar or mahogany for first priority as they will in general produce a mellow tone. Spruce is an all-rounder and the most commonly used wood ever and its the wood I would recommend if can't get cedar/mahogany solid top guitars.

The only guitar comes into my mind with your price range is the Yamaha FG700S or 730S.

Here's how it sound like

Its a solid spruce top if not mistaken which makes it good for both strumming and picking.

i suggest u to buy at least a solid top guitar. prices depending whether u wanna go for brand or not.

solid top branded w/ pickups = at least rm2000
solid top branded w/o pickups = at least rm1300
solid top non branded w/ pickup = around rm1000
solid top non branded w/o pickup = around rm700

I just tried the cort mr600f.. its sound great... does it worth to buy?

takamine with pickup

takamine with pickup can get less than 1k...

i hv one D series. feel very good when play. the sound though cannot compare with other guitar since i only hv this at the moment.

fg700MS nicer. matt finishing. good sound and solid top

That price range, crafter. Their nut is conductive to fingerpicking as well.

For that budget of yours, get a Yamaha guitar. I use a Yamaha Guitar for fingerstyle too (with fingerpicks).

If you can afford a Martin Guitar, then go for it.
