Any acoustic guitarist now any decent but mega cheap small bodied acoustic models?
I don't usually play acoustic anymore, but just fancied a small bodied guitar in the studio.
Was quite surprised about the Squier £59 DR's, thought they'd be quite awful, but they play nice for the price, the size of it put me off though, I'm quite small :)
So yeah, anyone know any decent one's for under £100?

in a word no not at that low a price shame cos I just sold a crafter OM for £120......................... the Vintage (cant remember which model no) do an OM/000 size for little money that was quite OK, still think thats closer to £200 (which is still cheap) than £100Quote:

Definitely - the Vintage Bert mentioned are indeed very good, and Tanglewood do a nice small-bodied model too.Quote:

It's small-bodied with a slotted headstock and the neck joins the body at the 12th fret. It has a solid engleman spruce top with laminated rosewood back & sides. The neck is chunky-ish and has a V profile. Comes with fitted Farida hard case - not Hiscox quality but OK for basic protection.
Asking £140 plus shipping but I'd need to see if I could source a suitable box.
Cant quite come down to below £100 but I would do the guitar for £110 without the case (I can use it for another guitar) but I'd not be prepared to post it.

I bought one of these years back as a "party guitar" i.e. a cheap as chips guitar to bring and bash about at parties without fear of breaking it. It was about £25 at the time. Out of the box the strings needed replacing and frets needed soime steel wool on them as they were like sandpaper. I also replaced the tuning pegs with some slightly better ones. Still got it. It doesn't sound amazing - but for the money not bad at all.
