Hi all,
I've been playing for a bit more than a year (Acoustic mainly although I've also have a spanish classical one but I don't play it often) and now want 2 things:
- I want to upgrade my current accoustic (although it's quite good for my current level tbh). I've a Cort Earth 100: https://www.cortguitars.com/product/item.php?ca_id=102010&it_id=143&page=1. Now as I said, this guitar is fine, but sometimes I feel the Dreadnought body too big so any suggestion on below $500-$600?
- I want to try electric for the first time ever but I'm completely lost there, I don't really know which type of guitar should I pick. I don't want to be attached to any particular music style, so maybe there's some good "all-rounded" electric guitar? I don't want to spend too much on this one, so maybe some good suggestion below $300-$350?
Thanks a lot for reading!
Andrés
Hey, Andres.
I'm not too familiar with acoustic guitars. But based on what you wrote, you might benefit from getting an acoustic with different characteristics than your current guitar. For example, one with a cutaway to reach higher frets, on board electronics to plug in or make recording easier. Here's an example in your price range.

Regarding the electric I recommend getting a bundle if you can in order to get an amp with the guitar in that price range. A Strat style with a humbucker bridge pickup is a great choice. For example:
And I always recommend try before you buy! Go to a local music store and explain your goals & budget. Try a bunch of guitars. See which ones feel good in your hands. Which ones will motivate you to practice more!
Hope that helps. Best of success guitar hunting!
