#Is this a good acoustic for its price?

obtuse plank
there's almost no way to go wrong with Yamaha ... it's not always spectacular but it's very decent and well made 99% of the time

Cant really find any low priced geetar with a more darker tone of wood
Most mahogany's are more in 400-500 which is a little out of my price range.

Eastman PCH1-OM

some luna art
if i'd get an acoustic ... i would go for something like this :
do you really want a folk/ OM model ?
timber sphinx
do you really want a folk/ OM model ?
Whats that? Dont know much abt acoustics
obtuse plank
the one you posted is a folk guitar, sometimes called OM ... the shape is a bit smaller, rounder
obtuse plank
also known as a parlor guitar by the way
parlor is a pretty good starter guitar I think
timber sphinx
Does the classical include the short neck too?
obtuse plank
yes but it's wider
timber sphinx
Well if the parlor looks that like, it doesnt tickle my fancy
looks like a big ass peanut.
obtuse plank
the one you posted is more concert / O shaped
timber sphinx
Are there any major tone differences between the bodies?
obtuse plank
bigger the body, the louder and more low end
obtuse plank
nope...but also not that different
timber sphinx
ooh that eastman is quite dandy.
obtuse plank
i would suggest to go to GC or anything nearby and try out some shapes/brands etc
Eastman is really good for the price
timber sphinx
Is it like a Squier/Epiphone kinda brand?
obtuse plank

Those acoustic-electrics. You can play em both ways or are you just getting an acoustic sound?
obtuse plank
Eastman is a Chinese brand I think , but their guitars are handmade
they also make very high end Les Paiuls

Been playing a les paul for six months, I've had it with them.
