New acoustic guitar for around the £250 mark???

Hi there

Could anyone recommend a make of acoustic for around the £250 price tag? My styles incorporate both strumming and finger style.

Taylor GS Mini is the obvious shout & should be doable second hand for £250.

Vintage make some wonderful acoustic guitars for around that budget. I have a Paul Brett signature 12 string & it's the best acoustic I've owned. The six string is equally good.

Parlour? Jumbo? Dread? OO? OM? Depends on what body type you're after.

The Sigma acoustics are great value for money

I second this. I had a used Sigma 000M-15 and it was fantastic. Probably shouldn't have sold it.

If you like strumming and fingerstyle certainly consider a 45mm (1 3/4) nut width. Depending on your finger size it might just make things a little more comfortable/enjoyable.

m Thanks for your advice my friend. I don't know much about 'nut widths' etc, so would you be kind enough to explain a little more please?? As for finger size, long, thinnish. Trev

If it doesn't need to be new I would highly recommend a Taylor Big Baby. I picked mine up recently for £200 second hand and I love it. I had a Gison Sheryl Crow previously which was like 10x the price but not 10x the playability. It's my go to lounge strummer now
