                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I just bought a new acoustic from Guitar Center on Friday.  My price range was $200-$300 as well.  I played everything in the store (including the Yamaha) and believe it or not, this one sounded best to me:<br><br><a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ibanez-V200S-Solid-Top-Acoustic-Guitar?sku=514520">http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ibanez-V200S-Solid-Top-Acoustic-Guitar?sku=514520</a><br><br>And at $199 it was at the bottom of my price range.  My advice, play a bunch before you decide.  I would have never expected to go home with this model before the trip to the guitar store.  But, I'm sooooo glad I did.  She is one sweet axe.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I could hook you up with something used for about that.

DO IT! I bought an acoustic off Nick three years ago and I've loved it ever since! The man knows guitars......<br><br>I've not really had that many acoustics in my life, but I did buy a nice Yamaha - just before I bought that one off Nick! - with a cutaway and active pickups. Very nice action, could play it well above the 12th fret without much trouble. I did post a couple of soundclips at the time, and everyone seemed to like the tone. Trouble was, the one I got off Nick was a real beauty and I got a good offer for the Yamaha, which was a bit redundant anyway.<br><br>I've played a couple of Yamahas since, and if I was buying another acoustic at a reasonable price, Yamaha would be the first brand I looked at.<br><br> :D  :D  :D <br><br>Vic]]></content:encoded>
