    Hi IGTians!

    I'm Amit from Bangalore - an IT guy (like else everyone in Bangalore) and play some guitar and keyboard in my free time. I've been a silent guest member on this forum for last few months and finally posting today.

    I need some advice on which acoustic guitar to buy. I have used a Givson for years and now need to upgrade. My budget is 10k INR which is stretchable if there is something really good by adding some extra hunderds. Having inbuilt pickup is a preference but great sound is priority.

    Few names I know in this budget are:
    1. Cort Earth Series with Fishman pickup (Bajaao.com - Rs. 12, 900)
    2. Yamaha F210A
    3. GB & A Artimus (Bhargava's Musik - Rs. 9600)

    Need some advice from the experts here please! Many thanks in advance :)

    Great sound depends on great ears.
    So no one can actually help you here :)

    Frankly, with your budget all guitars would sound good (perhaps not to Paco de Lucia though).

    Best thing u can do is to go to a near by Showroom and try out all the guitars in ur budget and pick the best one......
    One guy from my college plays an ibanez v72ece....Sounds like orgasm......I havnt played it tho....

    hey bluffmaster.. here is something you gonna love so much! that is nothing but the super cexy "Fender CD60" which i'm planning to buy soon., i believe its not more that 10k.,
    from givson to fender cd60 you will feel more difference in tone, playing, handling everything.

    if you are really concerned about budget i prefer "Yamaha F210" i have used this and i still., its a beautiful guitar.,


    great tone is priority! it depends on how great you play ;-) rock on

    Thanks Allen! This is some great help.

    I want to buy a guitar for next 5 yrs. If you are upgrading from Yamaha F210 to FenderCD60 - I'd rather buy Fender CD60. I can afford 10-12k once today but not 6k and then 10k in 1-2 yrs. I hope you understand my concern ;-)
    I'll play a bit of Fender next week at some store and post again.
    THANKS again :)

    Friends! I finally bought a Yamaha F310 acoustic guitar.

    One observation in Bangalore - lot of Chineese stuff in the market. No store/showroom advises or recommends (and even stocks) the genuine branded guitars. Lot of new brands and the salesmen are trained to promote and sell those and not the branded ones with better sounds and build quality.

    Congrats......And true about the Chinese instruments......Based on my experience in Musical instruments store....Mumbai is the only place in India where the salesman knows what he is selling......And Ashish from SB Music is the best to deal with when it comes to guitars...the guy is a great guitarist as well....
