    I think everyone here knows that Martin makes the best acoustic guitars; not everyone has the money for one though.

    I've been meaning to buy a top of the line guitar for a while now, and just haven't been able to make up my mind. In a perfect world I'd be getting two top of the line guitars: one Martin and one sick as **** electric (Gibson, EGC, PRS....still can't decide). Probably end up getting the electric first.

    they offer models at $499 i believe. that's a lot of bang for the buck.

    if someone is going to go through the trouble of saving $250-$300 bucks for an acoustic, they might as well have the patience to save another $200-250 to get an affordable Martin or Taylor. Those are for-life quality instruments.

    If money, or lackthereof, is what is holding you back from pulling the trigger on your purchase then I suggest checking out http://www.americanmusical.com/6-Str...oustic-Guitars. This place is legit, way better than musicansfriend. They let you do payment plans, not layaway. You order and pay your first installment and then they withdraw from your checking account on a monthly basis, whatever day you authorize them to do so. Good luck

    Alvarez all day long. Best bang for the buck by far, and right in your price range. My only acoustic guitar is a dreadnaught (lol) style Alvarez I picked up for like 175, and I haven't felt the need to upgrade for going on 3 years now. It plays great and sounds pretty good, so I'll bet for 500 you can get something really nice.

    Kinda hard to find and most online retailers never have them, but they are sexy as hell and sound HUGE.

    I always felt when there is limit to spending, looking at the used market may be the better direction. Scope the sites and wait for the steal.

    If I had the dough I'd splurge on a Martin but I just throw around cheap acoustics. I got a little Harmony from the 60's and it's been nice, will never get rid of it
