Been looking at martins and taylors and my preference so after even after trying a couple is martin

#

and preferably with a eletronic system so you can plug it into an amp

hidden totem Hard disagree

why?

#

Cutaways sound thin and it’s one of those models that aim to appease electric players. Imo, nothing beats a Martin dreadnaught

#

Even a Yamaha FG-830 sounds better than a newporter to my ears

looking at the PRS SE T20e thoughts?

I agree that it lacks bass. I'm going to try some different strings to to try to fix that. It still works for some styles of playing.

#

are you willing to buy used? you could get pretty decent stuff

#

used for that kind of money

#

I'd suggest seagull s6

#

but their price jumped twice 😮

#

I bought mine for 430€ brand new

#

w/o electronic system tho

#

i really love mine

#

can't compare to some higher end guitars

#

cause I have not played them

#

but imo it swiped everything within its price range 🙂

#

#

found two in my local used website

#

#

#

pics of the cheapest one

#

could probably get like 500 for it

#

do you think its worth it to go the extra mile and get the electro version?

#

that one is s6+

#

idk if that makes a diference

#

iron pelican i really love mine

wait made in canada thats pretty cool

iron pelican Apr 25, 2023, 6:31 PM

#

yeah, its made by Godin

#

you probably heard for it

#

well, get electro only if you are going to play it plugged

#

in front of audience etc

#

but try it first

#

they have a bit wider neck

#

than I was used to

#

altough

#

it's the sound that made the choice

#

I adore mine 😄

#

this is on phone microphone

#

🙂

#

and not really played well rhytmicaly .but... 🙂

#

have in mind that electro version is cutaway body

#

probably bit more different sound

#

( probably resonates worse acoustically 😄 )

#

all in all, worth trying

#

@primal frigate also, not sure where are you based, check out if you have Levinson guitars around

#

tried one pretty good around ~500€

#

and for electro-acoustics
