OK so i am in the market for my first acoustic guitar and, although I don't want to spend too much, I want something half decent, preferring at this point, dreadnought.
I have shortlisted so far:
Fender CD-100LH
Lag TL300D
Sigma DM-1STL
All these are available in left handed models.
Any opinions/owners opinions? thanks ....
I just traded in a Yamaha for a Sigma and am really pleased I did. Fantastic little guitar, very pleased indeed.
I'd add Seagull/Simon & Patrick (same manufacturer), Faith, Yamaha and Tanglewood to that list - never played a bad one of any of these. You might get all-solid timbers, especially if you keep an eye out for something second hand.
Well, I wasn't going to include Faith in my list cos that's my next acoustic purchase! I know the model I want, you see. This is for entry level money. But Tanglewood and Yamaha are possibles, thanks.
Why not wait a bit (if cash is the issue) and skip straight to the Faith?
Also: my old singer played a bit of acoustic live, and was a lefty. He had a Fender and a Tanglewood (and something else l can't recall) - the Tanglewood was much better, but over twice the price of the Fender.
Make of that what you will. He was a twat, mind.
This. If there's a couple of hundred in it, you'll probably actually end up spending less money overall.Quote:

Thanks, kinda suspected the same thing regarding Fender tbh.
The Faith will have to wait, that will be my 'best' acoustic, first want to get something to use as a 'go to' guitar you see, hence the budget of around 200 quid. I'm edging towards the Sigma, I do know somewhere which has one, have to go and try I think, thanks for replies.
if you need to stick to your budget...........then PLEASE PLEASE go try as many used guitars as you can - you may well pick up something FAR in excess of what you can get new, and may never even have considered :)
the trouble with asking recommendations on a big forum is - one mans meat etc etc
EDIT
sorry, missed the bit about left handed..........I guess thats going to make my suggestion a shed load more difficult - :(
Try one of the Blueridge range. Absolutely stunned by the sound of my newly acquired Blueridge. Awesome for the price
