Good, cheap acoustic guitar?

Question:I've played guitar for about 4 years, but I'm not too familiar with acoustic models. What are the better, cheaper brands? (and by cheap I mean in the $200-$300 price range) I plan on playing my acoustic a lot, I just don't know what I should be looking for. Thanks!

Acoustic guitars as you know require more finger pressure on the strings to produce clear sounding notes and chords than do electric guitars. With that in mind you want the most comfortable instrument to play in your price range. The Wasburn D10 line of guitars were voted best acoustic guitar under $500 by Acoustic Guitar Magazine. You can find them in the $250-$300 price range. You may also try to find a used Blueridge guitar on ebay. I feel Blueridge guitars are the best guitar on the market for the price. Look for models BR_40,BR-60,BR70,and you may find a used one in great condition in your price range. If you can save up look for the Blueridge models BR140,BR160,BR180. These guitars are all solid wood,will last a lifetime, and play as well as any $3000 guitar on the market. Good Luck!

Seagull brand, hand made in Quebec.

Great tone. Nice action. Beautiful finish. Excellent value.

I found that the best way to decide what guitar is for you is to go to the music stores tell the employees what you are looking for and they will guide you in the right direction. I have found that they can be really helpful. Then I would sit down and play the guitars that I'm thinking about buying and listen to the way they sound and see how easy they are for me to play. I hope this helps!

I've been looking at this for my first acoustic guitar:

I've read some really good reviews on it.
