Electro Acoustic - £500-ish

[tom77]

Afternoon PH'ers,

To ease the pain of selling my 306gti6, I've decided to use some of the cash to fund a new guitar.

I'm after an electro acoustic - Today I tried a Taylor 114e, which seemed to fit the bill perfectly. I'm going to try a few others as well to get a good comparison, maybe Takemine?

Also looking for any recommendations from the geetar fraternity here..

As per the title, budget is £500, give or take £50.

Over to you folks...

Cheers,

Tom

I always try the Corts in shops, but I'm damned if I'm spending that amount on one! I barely play any more though, just the odd tinker here and there.

Bought a takamine EG540sc a few years ago (Cutaway Dread) for roughly £400...unseen which was a bad idea

Neck joint is not pefect and as such it required some work to get the action lower....but it still isn't and never will be perfect

Heard good things about Breedlove Atlas acoustics, infact the luither I took my acoustic too designed them, he rates them....but then he would, seemed good to me though

Tak's are well regarded, but are not beyond a few duds at the £500 price range....Whatever it is, play before you buy and then take to have setup.
