alvarez dreadnought guitar
acoustic guitar help?

im getting an acoustic guitar. im a beginner but i want to get the best guitar for the money im willing to pay. i found a few i like and i was wondering if someone could look at my choices and then me know which one u think is the best. it would be so helpful to me.

I play and teach on the side, so...

Don't look at the brand on the headstock, listen to what comes out of the soundhole. Narrow down your choices within your budget, get a friend who plays and go down to the local guitar supermarket. Have your friend play the same music through your prospects, and see which one 'grabs'.
You might want to think about going shopping on the last day of the month- at the superstores, the sales crew is trying to wrap up their sales for the month, and if you're ready to buy-and can show the cash- you can usually get them either to knock off 10-20% for a floor demo(point out a small nick or two) and maybe even throw in some strings, strap, picks, tuner, metronome, etc. Also, even if you're bargaining, a setup should come with the price of the guitar, as well as a grace period where you can bring the guitar back for an adjustment at no charge.
You also might want to look for a used guitar- bring your friend, if you like the sound, start by offering about 60-70% of the asking price. When your friend plays, have him say things like, "Nice, but the intonation's a little off, could use strings and a setup..." That's usually good for knocking $50 off the asking price.

Good Luck,
Seamus

PS-If someone in your shoes was to ask me "What guitar should I buy", I'd say a Seagull S6-great sound for the money!
