Looking to pick up the guitar again. Played a while back and just fell out of it. Can't even find my old acoustic.
Any suggestions on a relatively cheap but solid quality acoustic guitar?
The most I'd spend would probably be about $175-200.
Appreciate it, guys.

Visit a couple of Pawn Shops before you buy new. My Buddy picked up D28 for $150.00 not long ago. But you nor I are him! Lucky, lucky man.

A d28 for $150.00? That sounds too good to be true. What kind of condition is it in and how old it is? But as the previous poster stated above, a used Takamine is a great guitar to get back into things.

I also agree on used Takamines. If you can't find one, they also have a cheaper line of guitars, Jasmine.

Three possible explanations:

1. Fake Martin.
2. Falling apart Martin.
3. Dumbest pawnbroker ever.

No. There's a fourth! I could be BSing y'all, but I'm not.

Of course I can't recall the SN# but it's 1946. Never been restored.It is a well used but well taken care of (for its age) guitar. Small towns do have their advantages sometime. Like I said, this is a very luck man.

my first guitar was a jasmine. the sound was descent but the action was terrible.

fender, takamine, washburn, and Ibanez aren't bad. my brother bought a used epiphone that I swear played better than any martin, taylor, or Gibson ive ever played. check out guitarcenter.com and don't be afraid to check out pawn shops. you can probably find some great deals
