guitar for 2500$

[Deleted]

Hi again,

A friend is going to US(Salt Lake City) in tree weeks and has agreed to bring me a six string. In my country we have very limited selection and prices are sky-high compared to yours, so better use this chance.

I begged, borrowed and... scraped together 2500USD and i already have D-28, so that in mind what kind of guitar would support me best for upcoming years playing and practicing finger style?

Good option on my limited budget and where to bye one?

Ma by something like:

Martin 000-28
Taylor GA8


Thanks

My recommendation would be a Composite Acoustics 8M-CE. You should be able to get one, with hardshell case, for right around $2,500.

Here is why you should get one (I am a happy owner):

-- They sound amazing, are incredibly comfortable to hold and easy to play.

-- Their looks are dramatic and women find them beautiful, even if they don't find you beautiful.

-- They are impervious to heat, cold, moisture, dry air, and damage from being knocked around. You could leave a CA guitar in your car on the coldest Finnish day and it would be fine. I recently dropped mine accidentally onto a hard floor from 6 feet up and it didn't even go out of tune!

-- Excellent electronics. Sounds great when amplified.

-- It will never need any adjustments or maintenance of any kind.

-- It stays in tune beautifully, in any tuning.

As a user and not a collector, I can't imagine why anyone would want anything besides a D28 or in my case an OM21 Special. I say it ad nausium but it is the brain behind the guitar and not the brand itself, if you've got a quality instrument to begin with ... no disrespect intended

I played one the Composite Acoustics recently and was very impressed. It seems to me that they would travel very well and be impervious to any environmental change that could occur in Fusti's neck of the woods.

That's a good budget and you will certainly get a good guitar from that. I'm guessing you purchased a Gibson guitar like a J-45 perhaps?
