Can anyone suggest to me which brand/model to get for a nice acoustic guitar and where to get it (pref near or in subang). I'm upgrading from a classical and am self learning so got no teacher to turn to for advice. Budget rm300-rm500. Thanks.

Try the brand SX or Farida... They are in the price range and are quite good entry level guitars... You'll be able to find these brands at those big name guitar shops around KL (don't know about Subang though)

I might wanna add Stagg.
It's just bout a hit and miss as SX, but I actually managed to pick one which sounds pretty darn good for 400 bucks.

hmmm around rm300 to 400... may b can get a yamaha d...

Err... yamaha... sx...farida...staag? Any specific model? Whats the difference? Thanks Guys.

Oh and I heard the Yamaha at Kelana Jaya gives some great deals.. is dat true? Thanks.

yamaha f310, i heard

Yamaha f330

I second the yamaha..they are the only guitar with that price range that have the quality and durability

my yamaha is f210, its been about 3 to 4 years, and it still sounds great

That's great! Ok, yamaha it is, first on the list for trying out at the shop.. thanks guys. I'll post back once I've been to one. Just one question though, f210, 330, 310. Are they in the same model ranges as in an updated version in the same class or just different in some other ways. thanks. XD

im not sure about yamaha f330, but as for f210 and f310 i tried before.

the sound is almost the same, though i like the tone of f310 more.
the fret of f210 is wider compared to f310, to get a better idea, it is always good to go with a friend who is good in guitar and experience the guitar in music stores, normally they allow testing the guitar...

i`ll say farida D8
i own one of these..
wonderful sound tho

Yamaha F-310, u cant go wrong with it. suits ur budget and its very suitable for beginner

I've heard this model has an electro-acoustic version. Could you tell me more about that and the price please. Also, does the extra effect the acoustic quality. Thanks ^^

Just borrowing a space here. Also looking for an acoustic. Budget for the guitar ranges from 500-800. Of course with electro-acoustic. With an amp and a speaker for it. Budget for both around 1500..



I know when it comes to guitars, it all comes from your own ears but would like to know some good brands for my price range. Been playing on a not-so-good nylon acoustic for almost 4 years now. Thanks

Hi,
How much you bought that?

best bet is to just go to yamaha and try out the guitar yourself.
dont thin u can buy a guitar without trying it out right?



yamaha sometimes have good deals. u just have to wait for it.

i'd like to add to the question too..

with the same price range, what model/brand of acoustic guitar that i can get that is NOT a dreadnought, with cutaway and without any electronics?

Hmmm... good question, I was looking into the cutaway too but most guitar shops quoted me more than rm600 which is out of my budget...

Do remember that concert sized cutaway guitars don't sound full acoustically when unplugged... They only sound good amplified.. If you want a good sounding acoustic guitar unplugged, you'll still need a dreadnaught or a jumbo cutaway...
