Posts: 3 06/27/09 15:23:48	Tags : None Hey there. I'm looking for a dreadnought guitar. Solid wood preferred but not a must. With a great tone!!!! But it also needs to be pretty cheap. I play a lot of folky music and I'm just now getting into some light bluegrass so I need something with good bass that works well for both fingerpicking and flat picking. If hearing my sound would help determine an instrument, the picture on my signature is a link to my soundclick page. I might also mention that I've been playing for about a year and a half. Right now I have an Ovation Celebrity CC-24 and hate it. I'm 16, (reason for needing it to be pretty cheap) and I write a lot of my own stuff, as well as play several covers. I do sing but it's very very bad and I don't recommend paying too much attention to the actual singing as it may cause damage to your ear drums. :D Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -Maggie Last Edited By: Waldener 06/27/09 15:32:51.

You should be able to get one for around $115.00-$125.00. Now for a real nice guitar check out the RK line. I play a RD-127 for bluegrass and a ROC-56CFE for my finger picking sets. Good luck Al

Thanks for the input. :)

Check your local pawn shops and Craigslist as there are bargains to be found there too. If a guy is patient he can get a nice box for a few hundred. On the slightly more expensive side, I ordered my Martin 000-15S new and paid a tad over $800.00. There are two examples, high and low, for under a grand. The market is plumb full of guitars in between. The best way to buy a guitar, always, is to have it in hand and play it first. For some folks, like us lefties in small towns, that's nearly impossible. Good luck on the hunt. I'd like to know what you find. Brian

It is also one of the few RK models that you can get with a sunburst finish. As Brian indicates above, you can get a lot of bang for your buck with Yamaha, but you might even be able to sneak into a used Martin D-15 at the high end of your price range. Drew

It'll be worth more money in the long run (should you decide to trade up later on) and it's got mojo too http://cgi.ebay.com/1976-Guild-D-25M-Acoustic-Guitar-nice-bluegrass-tone_W0QQitemZ140329812795QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item20ac4f033b&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A15%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C293%3A6%7C294%3A50 And a 1972 Guild D-40 http://cgi.ebay.com/Guild-D-40-Acoustic-guitar-1972_W0QQitemZ230353832584QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item35a2288a88&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1205%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 How about a Blueridge BR-240 http://cgi.ebay.com/BLUERIDGE-BR-240-PREWAR-GUITAR-w-case-USED-but-NICE_W0QQitemZ180378704156QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item29ff68991c&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1205%7C293%3A2%7C294%3A50 The RD26 is a good choice too, and hey, it's even in stock!
