my little brother wants to get an acoustic/electric guitar. he's a 15 year old kid, so he doesn't have too much money. what guitars would you recommend for him?

Well, we still need a price range to work with. And if he doesnt have much money, he might be better off not gettin an acoustic with electrics, does he really want/need them if hes just starting out.

he has a les paul and a crappy acoustic and he's been playing for a year. i don't know what he wants to spend, just recommend a guitar and he can decide.

Haha, ok, a Taylor 914ce

Seriously though, a price range helps

uhh yeah, taylors are probably out of his price range. he's a 15 year old kid... so probably $500 give or take. definatly under $1000. i think he also wants a dreadnought

I know theyre out of his price range, I was being a smartass because you didnt really give one. Id look at some Alvarez's, theyre good in that price range. Take him to a guitar shop, ask a tech to play some nice $500.00 range guitars and let him get what he likes, its his guitar. No ones gonna tell you what to buy, just give you theyre own opinions, its up to him.

I have a Carvin Cobalt series C750S, that I absolutely love. not very expensive, but it has a great sound and comes with a fishman preamp plus. It's kinda sketchy because Carvin is only warehouse direct, so you can't hold or play the guitar before you but it. But they have a great return policy, and since it's factory direct, you save money.

Bottom line, high quality guitar, not much money.

those look real nice. real nice. Im really looking at the 12ver. are they all acoustic/electric?

No I think only the 650 and up. And they are really nice, I love mine and can't put it down. Compared to my friend's shitty LTD acoustic/electric (horrible, never buy!) It sounds like a $2000 guitar. The electronics in it are just sooooooo much better. Can't go wrong with fishman.

Alvarez's are real nice for the price! I got mine as my first acoustic (drednought) for like $260. Sounds just as good as higher priced guitars too! I think an Alverez acoustic-electric should run in the low $300s. They have that nice on board electronics too! :lol:

I shoulda got one of those! I'm getting a Fat Strat pretty soon and a Fender 65W amp!

I still don't have an acoustic electric....I just have an acoustic and i bought a crappy $20 soundhole pickup for it to run through my 30 year old PA system.

Yep, their cheap, good quality, and have a nice sound and a low action.
