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

Considering your username, id have thought you may be able to play.....or is it not a Van Halen reference?

Guitarists who you might never have heard of who make you want to quit Part 1....
Ben Lacy...Fucking alien..


Part 2. Tommy Emmanuel..Lovely bloke who meets fans and gives lessons after his gigs for hours afterward.


Part 3. Max Ostro.. Lovely style and technique.


Part 4. Fernando Miyata..Speed and ferocity is amazing..Also check the tapping!


Part 5. Guthrie Govan.. Nice beard..

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.

Haha I wish mate, it is a reference I always liked it so used it for my username and do like some of Van Halens stuff ..

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.......
