My recommendation is for the Breedlove AD200SM (i purchased mine at Guitar Mania in Poole) at £430 it feels more like an £800 guitar and sounds better than my £800 Takamine. Action, intonation and tone is all superb. Love it !

Acoustic guitar is probably the best guitar you can start with as they can be sold cheap and are pretty much expendible. You don't need the best of the acoustic guitars to begin, all you need is a cheap 6 string 20~ fret acoustic guitar. However, If you go for an electric guitar you have to pay for the guitar AND an amp AND the leads. If you just ...  Read the complete review

I am currently around the beginner-plus level of playing guitar. I know a fair amount of the major chord shapes and can tune by ear (although this is probably due more to my musical theory training than any particular prowess on guitar). I may not be equipped yet to write an op on learning how to play guitar, but I’m trying to provide a ...  Read the complete review

My price range was £350.00 but I ...  Read the complete review

From the time that I was conceived, music has been a large part of my life. My Mom played her classical guitar (a Fender that is now twenty-two, twenty-three years old and still sounds absolutely beautiful), or she would put in a cassette to listen to. I don't know whether she contributed to it or not, but I am madly in love with music. ...  Read the complete review

Because of my fondness for the Baby, I have always harboured an ambition to get one of it's bigger brothers...foolishly, when recently in my ...  Read the complete review

Alright, I guess you could say I've been 'playing'- heh...- guitar since fourteen, but by NO MEANS am I an expert on types, tones or models so... But what I do know, and this is just my opinion really, is that the acoustic guitar is the most rebellious, Dionysian instrument on this lovely planet earth. Especially 12 strings, mate! ...  Read the complete review

I started playing the guitar almost 4 years ago in school. The night before my first lesson, I took a trip into the city centre, and bought a Genta acoustic. I have not regretted my decision. Steel-stringed and full sized, it was the perfect way to begin learning this instrument. Being a steel stringed guitar, it's bound to ...  Read the complete review

After messing around with low-end guitars (Yamaha's usually), I finally bit the bullet and bought something a bit more worthy.

My own model is a D15M -- all ...  Read the complete review

I'd stop short of saying whether james baker smallman-influenced instrument offers significant sonic benefits over conventionally built electro-classics: I simply havent played enough of them - often enough - to reach an unequivocal conclusion. But there is no doubt that the baker is a classical instrument, reasonably priced considering the ...  Read the complete review
