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.

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.........
 
When I had my 12 string many moons ago I used to just put the 6 "normal" strings on first EADGBE, then a day or two after I'd put the octaves on. It just made the job more bearable.
