I'm going to Kentucky this summer. I also travel a lot around my home state, MI. I would like a good acoustic guitar to take with me on these trips, but I don't have much extra money to spend. I am still a beginner and I won't be using this guitar for shows or anything like that. What guitar or brand do you recomend?

Thanks

Hi, if on a budget I would recommend looking for a used but decent quality guitar. If you are looking for a steel string acoustic guitar, some of the Yamaha's are a good deal, like an FG730, and you may find them on craigslist. Make sure the action is good, the guitar has a truss rod to adjust the neck if needed, and most of all that it feels good to play and you like the sound.

By the way, thanks for your post on 3/4 cello size for an adult. I actually am going to start learning cello, and bought a used 3/4 to start, but I am a 5' tall adult with small hands, so I think it will be OK for me to start. I play other instruments, and just trying this, but if I ever get good I would consider a full size for the sound and quality.

Thank for nice post

You could try a cheap alvarez, they are usually good quality. Also check ebay for an ovation 1612 custom balladeer deep bowl. If you get one with a cracked face they are pretty cheap. I have had one for three years or so and even with the cracks it is holding up well.

I'd look up a "backpacking guitar". They're super light, and they sound pretty good. My uncle bought one from this hippie guy that carried it around the city, and he's really pleased with it.

Get an Epiphone AJ-1. Nice cheap guitar

i agree with bob, thats what i use, nice clean guitar for starters like me to..

A backpacker guitar. Small, plays nice, portable, great for that stuff.
