looking for a step-up acoustic - started learning back in April, making some ok headway (slow and steady!), and i bought a reasonably nice Tanglewood steel strings for £100. Looking at investing a little more now...£250 maybe? any good makes and models that are tried and tested? i know fuck all about guitars, in that sense

This is the one I've just ordered, within your price range.

 
My daughter (she’s 12) is now into guitar after Stranger Things as I posted earlier in this thread, and have been playing on my guitars but my guitars are solid and hollowbody electrics and dreadnought acoustics so either too heavy or too big for her.

Bought her this traveller sized guitar, the Enya Amari electro acoustic. She plans to perform a few songs (Paramore she said) for her upcoming school gig next month.

I think the Enya guitar plays well, has great resonance. Comparable to a Takamine or Fender acoustic, but not a Baby Taylor. Price wise that’s expected.

Edit: I haven’t plugged it in yet but here’s a video sample made by another person from a different country (possibly where it came from?) of this Enya Amari guitar

Thats a strong look.

My recommendation is one of these:



Reasons why:

1, You have to have an emotional attachment to a guitar, you have to want to pick it up and play it. It has to sound good & feel good. Also look good and have some pedigree if you can get it.

2, Its a decent guitar for the price, has a solid top, has electrics with built in tuner (very useful). Fender are not known for acoustics (some would say bad rep) so they do compete with others on quality/price as opposed to trade of the brand name in this market. But they do hold value like other fenders.

They come in 3 sizes - i'd avoid the small one that is tested in this vid below, the mid and full size ones in whatever colour you like. I also like the Epiphone and Fender at the end of this next vid.

 
Id love a Fender acoustasonic....but boy, they are very expensive

This is from something like 2013 but just stumbled across it.

Never really thought of Rory being a big influence on Marr but I enjoy seeing him playing his style on that renowned guitar.

Rory is the main reason I would get a strat but I wouldn't do it justice.......

If going for Fender acoustic route, these were the ones I owned and my review of them

Fender CD60
- Good beginner guitar. Sold mine on Gumtree in 2007 to a ladies football player (something Bees FC in Manchester, yellow kit)

Fender Sonoran SCE
- bought in 2011. My most favourite Fender acoustic. Sold this in 2013. Been trying to buy a new one but seemed they retired and move on to the Kingman, Newporter, Redondo and the smaller Sonoran. I just dont want to be disappointed with a non Sonoran.

Fender Telecoustic
- Looked nice, a telecaster cut, but sounded very tinny really. Its the predecessor to tge Acoustasonic I think. Unless its a Godin or Ovation I dont see any other flat acoustic guitars out there that sounds not tinny.

Apart from the Sonoran, I would recommend Epiphones. I had the EJ200SCE for a long time and it had both fret pickups and mic, but I upgraded to its Gibson 200 ancestry. Also had an Ovation roundback which was a different sounding guitar.

All my acoustic guitars were black finish.

Another one to have a look at - can't argue with that for just over hundred nicker.......
 
There's a black USA strat on eBay that keeps looking at me.

Been listening to a lot of Rory recently and it must be playing on my mind.

Never really wanted a Strat but I have a very strong urge to buy it.........
