i was wondering, i have a tak eg531sc and thats like my pride and joy if anything happened to it id die simply because id be forced to playing a shitty squier bullet with bad strings. so i was wondering what are some good beater acoustics somthing that will give me a good tone and not sound like total shit. any suggestions would help. i was thinking somthing like jackson are they beat material? lol im not sure, maybe somthing around 100-150 or even less if you know of somthing

alvarez makes very cheap guitars that sound really good. check out theyre lowest end models, my gf has an RF8, it was like $180.00 with a hard shell case. I know thats more than you were talking about, but it really sounds amazing for the price. It is a smaller body, though I think they make an RD8 thats normal dread.

I second the Alvarez - I've bought two and have been very pleased with them both. Great quality for the money.

I used to have a Yamaha acoustic that came in a starter package for $200 total...by itself (without the shit DVD, shit case, etc....) it was about $120 I think. It sounded very good, and played very well, for its price.

i have a tak something that i bought at GC's grand opening for 100 bucks. it stays in tune great, the action is fine, and it sounds good. for someone who plays bass, its perfect

Ya know, I still have my Jasmine by Tak after like, 6 or 7 years now, it was my first guitar, came as a starter pack thing. I've since gone through a few more, right now my baby is a Tak EF341SC (the "Bruce Springsteen model"), but I'll still whip out the Jasmine every once in a while, and it still sounds great. Granted, I haven't put new strings on it in over a year, and there's no cutaway, but still . . . what a great "beater" guitar. :thumbsup:
