    Are you sure you want to buy an acoustic for 20k though? Dont you like electrics? If not, ovations are nice...expensive...nice

    i don't recommend ovation, it is said that it's sound is not natural due to synthetic body,why dont u give a try to other brands,taylor seagull maybe martin (although i don't think u can get one in 20k).


    see the more famous the brand the more expensive the entry level guitars

    u could try yamah but ultimately its the sound u hear,if aguitar costs $1000 and sounds crammy it's not worth it, i've played givsons which sound better than guitars costing around rs10,000


    trust ur ears man,buy what u like and play whatever guitar u can play in the shop (trying dosen't cost) and a guitar of 20k is no mean thing. take ur time and trust urself..

    You pay for the craftsmanship and the warranty. Spend a little more and it'll do you better in the long run, especially if you're planning on keeping this guitar for a while.

    I would never buy a guitar that's made from the same people who make motorbikes and lawn mowers, like Yamahas, but thats my own bias. Yamahas are pretty pricey...you can get a much better guitar for the amount of money you'd be putting into that one.

    Try Takamines (if you can get your hands on one). They sound great for a beginner guitar, and sound even better plugged in. The only thing i don't quite like about them is the narrowness of the fretboard, but thats personal preference.

    Seagulls are Canadian crafted and made, beautiful low to mid range guitars. They sound great and look good too.

    Low end Martins and Taylors are pretty good too, although they have more of a sharp sound to them which I personally don't like.

    Fenders have a nice punchy sound. Guild (again, if you can get your hands on) are also nice guitars but really pricey.

    Get a good brand, you're paying for craftsmanship and good materials. Its worth it in the long run. I dont know about Givson, is it a typo or something? The REAL Givson AKA Gibson not only makes musical instruments but pieces of art.
