Are you on the market looking for quality acoustic guitars but don’t have too much cash in your budget? You’ll probably feel relieved hearing that there are dozens of top-quality models that do not cost a small fortune.

Before we begin, we should also mention that the low-end price point category of this field of the market is practically the most crowded one, so we’ve made sure to pick only the best-sounding, most versatile standalone guitars and packages for your convenience. Without any further ado, let’s dive straight into it.

Jasmine S35 Acoustic Guitar

Our opener pick is basically one of the more expensive budget acoustic guitars, but that’s mainly due to the fact that it features a versatile selection of top-shelf tonewoods, including Spruce on the top, Eastern Mahogany on body and back, and rosewood on the fretboard.

Furthermore, the back and sides of the S35 are laminated, which means that they’re substantially sturdier than most entry level acoustic guitars. In terms of tone, Jasmine’s S35 offers a full-bodied sound with a rich soundstage, and it also packs quality hardware to keep it in tune for longer periods of time.

YMC 38-inch Beginner Acoustic Guitar Starter Package

Basically, it doesn’t get much better than YMC’s starter pack if you’re looking for a cool-sounding acoustic guitar. It’s available at a bargain price and it features a variety of complementary guitar accessories, such as nine guitar picks (in different colors), a pitch pipe, a clip-on tuner, a guitar strap, and a lightweight carry bag. As for the guitar itself, it features basswood on top and back while its body is made of laminated hardwood. It doesn’t sound as great as Jasmine’s S35 per se, but it’s equally durable and perfect for rock, jazz, or slightly more delicate sub-genres of music. Obviously, its affordability is its biggest advantage.

Pyle 36-inch Classical Acoustic Guitar

Our next guitar pick is a short-scale nylon-strung acoustic guitar that was tailor-made for beginners and students of music. The guitar sports a variety of high-quality tonewoods, including basswood on the top, hardwood on the body, and linden wood on the back. Due to the fact that it has a shorter scale length its playability is drastically superior in comparison to most similarly priced models. On the downside, it doesn’t have fret inlays, which means that you’ll probably need some time to get the feel of it.

Strong Wind Classical Acoustic Guitar

Here’s yet another nylon-strung acoustic guitar; the Strong Wind Classical Acoustic axe is meant for people with a bit shorter hands, as well as for teens and kids just above twelve. The playability is awesome, and it offers a distinctly warm sound due to its full basswood construction. It also packs smooth machine gear heads that offer decent intonation and easy tuning, although they should be handled with care as they are not overly robust. Lastly, you’ll also receive a complementary gig bag free of charge should you opt for this guitar.

Indiana Dakota IDA CB Acoustic guitar Cherry Sunburst

The IDA CB is one of the best-sounding and best-looking acoustic guitars on our list. It features spruce wood on the top, a blend of mahogany and spruce on the body, a body made of quality mahogany, and a rosewood fretboard. This eclectic combination of tonewoods affords this guitar with excellent, versatile sound quality.

Furthermore, it boasts a marvellous Cherry Sunburst finish, so it’s an eye candy atop of the fact that it offers a beautiful sound and tone. The only thing you won’t like so much about IDA CB acoustic guitar is that its tailpiece is not necessarily the sturdiest, so you maybe should consider investing in a guitar stand when you can.

Fever FV 030 RD ¾ Size Acoustic guitar

Here we are looking at Fever’s FV 030 RD, which is a premium-quality budget starter acoustic guitar pack comprised of a clip-on tuner, a padded gig bag, several picks, replacement strings, and a great-sounding guitar.

The guitar features a combination of maple and hardwood tonewoods, so it’s both durable and great-sounding. Furthermore, the accessories it comes supplied with are also fully functional and add extra value for the buck.

J Reynolds JR65TGR Dreadnought

The JR65TGR is a vintage-looking dreadnought acoustic guitar that offers a great balance between durability and tone. It packs a spruce top, a hardwood body, and back made of Agathis wood, so you’ll find its tone scattered across the tonal spectrum.

Moreover, the hardwood body affords it with a massive level of robustness, so the chances are that even your grandkids will be able to enjoy playing this guitar.

Even though it does not come with any complementary features (unlike some of our earlier picks), it’s a high-value guitar fit for both skilled guitarists and beginner players.

Rocket ¾ Size Classical Acoustic Guitar

We’re pulling down the curtains with Rocket’s acoustic guitar package; this is a short-scale guitar that is best suited for beginners and teens, but its playability will be able to reward even seasoned guitarists who are searching for a cheap backup guitar.

You’ll also receive a variety of gratis features, including a set of replacement strings, a quality clip-on tuner, a couple of thin guitar picks, and a beautiful gig bag. Although Rocket’s acoustic guitar doesn’t offer the tonal qualities of a bit more expensive models, it sounds and looks great for the money.

No matter what you do in life and no matter what’s currently going on, there’s nothing in the world that can replace the feeling of taking a guitar in your hands and just jamming out or strumming along to your favorite songs. And even after all these decades of development, the good old acoustic guitar is still one of the most popular instruments, both with music enthusiasts and professional players. You can just take it anywhere with you and play what your heart desires.

However, if you’re looking for an instrument that will both serve you well and have great aesthetic features, we’re here to help you out. After all, having an all-round great acoustic guitar is a must for some musicians. On the other hand, it’s not that easy to find something with such a high “coolness factor” that would still serve your needs. This is why we decided to do some digging and bring you the coolest acoustic guitars that you can find on the market these days.

Fender CC-60S

No matter the genre that you’re into or the price level that you’re aiming for, there’s no way to go wrong with any of Fender’s acoustic or electric guitars. But if you want a cool acoustic guitar, then the company’s CC-60S is an amazing choice.

First, this guitar is made pretty well, featuring an all-mahogany body and a nato wood neck that’s designed to bring the best out of your performance. It’s also equipped with a nice walnut bridge, as well as quality tuners that keep things quite stable. Additionally, the instrument has an amazing finish and a classic concert body shape which makes it aesthetically pleasing.

Ibanez AW54OPN

While we’re at it, Ibanez is another great guitar brand that gives even a wider choice of guitar models that you just can’t go wrong with. In this particular list, we’re looking into their AW54OPN model that fuses some amazing and unexpected elements in one great and relatively cheap instrument.

This one comes with a mahogany top which is accompanied by Okoume sides and back. This combination brings a somewhat mellower tone that still covers higher ends of the audible spectrum. We also have a great neck made of mahogany that’s fitted with a rosewood fretboard. Additionally, we have an amazing open pore natural finish that gives this instrument a very pleasing aesthetical aspect.

WINZZ 40-Inch Single-Cutaway Beginner Acoustic Guitar

When you’re thinking of the coolest acoustic guitars, one of the first things that come to mind is a higher price level. However, what if we told you that you can still have an amazing and great-looking instrument for an unexpectedly lower price?

This is the case with WINZZ, who are known for their affordable instrument, and their 40-inch guitar with single-cutaway body design. Although not a prestigious instrument, you’ll get more than a great deal with its linden plywood top and back and basswood sides. Providing you with a very balanced and “neutral” sound, this guitar is an amazing choice for beginners.

Ibanez AEWC400

Knowing how amazing their stuff can get, we’re including another Ibanez’s model on this list, their amazing AEWC400. However, this one is a bit more expensive, although it provides way more interesting, stylish, and some higher-end features.

Taking a first glance at the instrument, we can see its sharp and “unconventional” cutaway, along with more ergonomic body design. It comes with a body that’s made completely out of flamed maple top. The neck is made out of Nyatoh wood and it’s equipped with a walnut fingerboard. It’s all accompanied by an amazing AEQ-SP2 preamp and Fishman Sonicore piezo pickup that let this guitar shine through any PA system or a specialized acoustic guitar amp.

Lava ME 2

Now we’re going to take a look at something completely different. While we’re all used to standard acoustic guitars made of wood, Lava is a company that makes carbon fiber instruments. These are designed to be so durable that you can take them pretty much anywhere with you.

The ME 2 model stands out to us, bringing not only a more compact size and resilience with it but also a great tone. What’s more, the guitar is extremely light due to the use of the company’s specially designed carbon fiber top. It’s somewhat unusual, especially aesthetically-wise. At the same time, they still manage to let out an amazing tone.

Traveler Guitar AG-200EQ

Traveler Guitar is a company that specializes in (you’ve guessed it) making compact travel guitars. But despite their smaller size, their tone, reliability, and functionality, they are comparable to any other guitar on the market. But what’s rather amazing is that some of these instruments also look great, like the AG-200EQ model.

Featuring a mahogany top, back, and sides, the instrument has a regular scale length of 25.5 inches. However, the body is smaller and there’s no headstock on it. Instead, the instrument comes with a tailpiece that’s fitted with tuning machines. Nonetheless, it’s a pro-level instrument that you can even use for live performances and studio sessions. And seeing how awesome it looks and hearing how great it performs, it comes as one of the coolest acoustic guitars out there.

It’s been quite a long time since Torakusu Yamaha opened up his musical instrument manufacturing company in Japan. And over 130 years later, they’re not only still standing strong but have turned into a multinational corporation that makes plenty of different instruments as well as other products, including mixers, microphones, electronics, and even motorcycles. However, what we’re most interested in here are their wonderful acoustic guitars.

No matter the genre, you’ll see beginners, intermediate players, advanced players, and even professionals holding Yamaha guitars in their hands. What’s more, you’ll also often see the same exact model being played in completely different musical styles. This only proves the quality and diversity of Yamaha’s products and their value on the market. If you’re one of those musicians that’s interested in getting one of their acoustic guitars, we have to be honest – you just can’t go wrong here. With this in mind, we’ve decided to help you out by bringing out the best Yamaha acoustic guitars that you can find today. Here’s what we’ve come up with.

Yamaha L-Series LL16

The company’s L-Series of acoustic guitars are one of the most respected in their arsenal. Going a bit higher on the price level, we have many interesting examples here that come in handy for different styles and levels of playing. The one that we’re rather fond of is the LL16 model that comes with classic Jumbo body shape. Combined with a wonderful solid spruce top and solid rosewood sides and back, you get a full resonant tone that gravitates towards the high ends. This makes it a wonderful choice for lead players, as well as those who play folk and folk-rock music and want to have some treble in there. This is all accompanied by a mahogany and rosewood neck with an ebony fretboard fitted onto it, featuring 20 frets.

Yamaha FS800

The FS800 is somewhat of a simpler model that goes more into the lower-priced category. But despite its cost, this guitar brings some serious tones and performance qualities that you don’t see within this range. The classic concert body is made out of a spruce top and laminated wood back and sides. Although this is a cheaper solution, the resulting tone doesn’t suffer at all. This guitar sounds pretty bright, even despite its relatively smaller body size. This is all rounded up with a nice nato wood neck and a walnut fretboard that provides great comfort in playability. The inside of the guitar is fitted with scalloped X-bracing that ensures a good tone and a very reliable build quality.

Yamaha FG800

Yamaha’s FG800 model is pretty similar to the FS800 that we detailed above. However, some things make these two instruments different. First off, we have the same solid spruce wood used as the top material here. The back and sides, however, are made from a combination of nato and Okoume wood. This does not only impact the tone but it also makes FG800 look very stylish. And compared to the FS800 model, the body features the classic aesthetically-pleasing dreadnaught shape. At the same time, we also have scalloped bracing on the inside. As for the neck, it’s made of nato wood and it’s been tapered to provide a very comfortable playing experience.

Yamaha FG840

And then we have something like their FG840 model that also comes with its own unique traits compared to other guitars from the FG series that we mentioned here. Here we have the traditional Western body shape. However, the top material is once again solid spruce. It’s all followed by rosewood back and sides, as well as nato wood neck with rosewood fretboard on top of it. What’s pretty useful with the neck is that it features a matte finish, which is what some guitar players prefer. Overall, this guitar brings a comfortable performance for players of any skill level and it comes with a very balanced and somewhat neutral tone.

Yamaha F325D

Looking further into their arsenal, we couldn’t help but mention one of the cheaper models that comes in quite handy for all the beginner and intermediate players. The model in question is F325D, which is a dreadnaught-shaped guitar, perfect for folk, rock, and blues music. The difference here is that we have a laminated spruce top instead of a solid one, as well as meranti back and sides. But despite this use of relatively cheaper materials, the guitar sounds pretty awesome. It’s all followed with a nato neck that has a rosewood fingerboard on it. It’s just a simple classic dreadnaught guitar with a very versatile implementation in different genres.

Yamaha APX600

Now, Yamaha’s APX600 is a bit different. Gravitating more towards the professional-grade stuff, this particular model features a thinner body with a very stylish and ergonomic cutaway. It doesn’t take long to realize that this guitar is intended for lead players. This is also noticed with its tone that’s noticeably brighter compared to some other instruments that we mentioned here. We also have a System 65A Preamp that’s accompanied by a piezo pickup, as well as a built-in tuner. Being a real mean soloing machine, this guitar is also aesthetically pleasing, making it one of the prettiest acoustics that came out of Yamaha’s factory.

No matter the scope of music genres that you might be into, there’s always room for acoustic guitars. In anything from mainstream pop and up to extreme metal, we’ve witnessed this instrument take the center spot in certain song sections or entire songs. After all, the instrument is appealing to musicians, producers, and – above all – the listeners. There’s just nothing that compares to it, and a good acoustic guitar cannot ever be replaced with a sampled digital replica of the instrument.

But for many guitar players, no matter their preferred styles, one of the main problems is finding the right acoustic guitar that’s worth the price. This is a common issue for guitarists of all skill levels and those who are looking for a good one no matter the budget that they have at their disposal.

Whether you’re aiming for a cheap one or a fairly expensive one, it kind of gets tough to find an acoustic guitar that will justify or even outperform its price tag. However, it’s also far from an impossible task to find guitars like these. So with all this in mind, we’ve decided to do some digging of our own and save you some time by bringing the best value for money acoustic guitars.

Epiphone AJ-220SCE

Epiphone is a brand well-known for its affordable yet great guitars. As far as acoustic stuff goes, we’re really amazed by their AJ-220SCE model with features an advanced jumbo body shape with a very useful single-cutaway addition to its design.

What’s really awesome is that it has a very balanced tone, all thanks to its spruce top in combination with mahogany back and sides, and a mahogany neck. It’s all accompanied by a granadillo fretboard with 20 frets and an amazing Fishman Presys II preamp in pair with a wonderful piezo pickup.

Along with a slim-taper D-profile neck, it’s an amazing choice for lead players and an awesome combination of price and qualities.

AmazonBasics Beginner Full-Size Acoustic Guitar

Everyone needs to start somewhere. Therefore, the market for cheaper instruments is full of different models, especially with acoustic guitars. However, the AmazonBasics acoustic guitar is a pretty great choice since it can serve you really well even if you’re a more experienced player.

What’s more, this acoustic guitar is fairly cheap and is aesthetically pleasing as well. It features spruce and okoumo tonewoods as main materials and a fairly comfortable mahogany neck. It’s an ideal choice for anyone who just needs a simple and cheap yet reliable acoustic guitar.

Fender CD-60SCE

No matter the skill level, musical preferences, or the price that you’re aiming for, you can’t ever go wrong with Fender. But what they offer with an instrument like CD-60SCE is surprisingly great. Going into the mid-priced category, this guitar has traits and an overall tone of a more expensive instrument.

We have a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, all building a classic dreadnaught-shaped body with a single-cutaway design. Of course, as is well-known with Fender guitars, it’s really ergonomic and comfortable to play. Additionally, you can also use its integrated Fishman CD preamp and pickup system that manages to reproduce the guitar’s organic tone.

Yamaha FG800

It’s been so many years since Yamaha jumped in on the steel-string acoustic guitar train, and they still manage to make some of the best models on the market. If you’re looking for a great value for the money, then their FG800 comes as one of the best examples of all the acoustic guitars on the market these days.

This one is intended as a fairly simple instrument with no special features but which can offer a very comfortable performance and an awesome tone, both of which exceed its price level. This dreadnaught guitar is made of spruce, nato, and okoume tonewoods, a combination that brings a very resonant and balanced tone. It’s a very versatile instrument that comes in handy for pretty much any musical style that comes to mind.

Ovation Celebrity CE48P-RG

We just can’t stress enough how awesome the entire arsenal of Ovation guitars is. With their special design and oval back made of special materials, you’ll get a sharp tone that’s perfect for lead players.

The same could be said about their Celebrity CE48P-RG model that brings the best performance for its price level. In fact, this guitar will outperform some of its more expensive competitors with its quilted maple veneer top and a well-designed nato neck with a rosewood fretboard on top.

The guitar is packed with the company’s now well-known OP-4BT electronics system that includes a 3-band EQ, a gain knob, as well as a tuner.

Martin D-12E

To be fair, there aren’t that many brands that could compete with Martin Guitars. Looking into their powerful arsenal of acoustic guitars, we’d single out the D-12E model as the best example of a guitar that has a great value for its price.

While it’s not exactly a cheap one, the D-12E clearly outperforms its price level, making it comparable with some of the most prestigious acoustic guitars out there. It bears a classid dreadnaught body made of finest sitka spruce and sapele tonewoods. It’s all accompanied by a wonderful and ergonomic neck that makes playing a breeze. The guitar’s amazing tone is also reproduced well through its Fishman MX-T preamp and pickup system.

Honestly, there’s hardly any activity out there that’s as engaging and fun as playing the guitar. If you could, you could take it everywhere with you and practice or just jam along to your favorite tunes. However, this is kind of tricky in most cases, isn’t it? After all, these instruments are pretty bulky for a regular trip, no matter whether you’re going somewhere by car, bus, plane, or any other way. But don’t worry, there’s always a solution. Plenty of guitar manufacturers have focused on building travel-friendly guitars that are easier to take on the road with you. These instruments are significantly smaller in their overall size, although they often come with normal-sized necks. This design can make an impact on their sonic output, but companies are making it all work and they can often sound as good as any other guitar out there.

In case you’re looking for a nice travel guitar for practicing or jamming during your vacation, don’t worry – there are some great examples to choose from. But since digging stuff up and trying out different guitars until you find the best one for you can take some time, we’ve done some research of our own and brought you a list of the best travel acoustic guitars that you can find on the market these days. You can check them out below. There’s something for everyone’s tastes and needs.

Yamaha SLG200S

No matter the exact category of guitars, Yamaha is always up there among the top brands on the market. But speaking of compact travel guitars, there’s barely anything that even comes close to their SLG200S model. This instrument is not like your standard acoustic guitar. It’s the so-called “silent” guitar that can be disassembled and reassembled at any time. It comes with its amazing piezo pickup and can even be used on stage for live shows. In fact, it’s often a choice for some pro-level guitar players. Additionally, the guitar’s neck and the overall resonance feel as if you’re playing a regular acoustic guitar. It’s a bit more expensive, but you just can’t go wrong with this one if you’re looking for a travel-friendly guitar.

Traveler Guitar AG-105E

As you might assume from its name, Traveler Guitar is a company that specializes in these kinds of instruments. The AG-105E model is one of the finest examples of travel acoustic guitars. Interestingly enough, we have a full-scale neck and a full-scale length while the other components are designed to be more compact. Aside from a smaller body, the guitar has no headstock and the tuning machines are moved to the opposite side. What’s more, the guitar comes with a preamp and a Shadow Nanoflex under-saddle pickup. We even have a tuner onboard, as well as a 2-band EQ, volume control, and a phase switch. With a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, you’ll have a really convincing tone.

Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light

Another one by Traveller Guitar, the Ultra-Light acoustic model is another great example. Although it seems like just a practice instrument, it’s more than that. It features a regular scale length of 24.75 inches, and it still manages to resonate enough that you can hear it unplugged, mostly due to its hard maple body. There’s no headstock on it and all the tuners are located on the body. Although featuring an unconventional design, it’s really easy to tune this guitar. What’s more, the guitar also comes with a piezo pickup and a detachable lap rest. So it’s not only compact, but you can also use it for live shows and get a really good tone out of it.

Martin Backpacker

Of course, anyone who’s remotely interested in acoustic guitars knows about Martin and how amazing their instruments are. For these compact traveling purposes, we have their Backpacker model that brings some of the company’s well-known tonal and performance characteristics in a fairly compact and comfortable instrument. Now, don’t be weirded out by its looks as this guitar can deliver quite a punch. These guitars also come in a few different variants, including different types of top woods, back, and side materials, as well as optional electronics. And, above all, it outperforms its price range.

Johnson Guitars JG-TR3 Trailblazer

Similar to Martin’s Backpacker, Johnson Guitars’ JG-TR3, also known as Trailblazer, comes with a very compact body. However, we have a full-sized neck and scale length of 24.75 inches. Along with this comes a pretty rich tone considering its very compact and slim body dimensions. Johnson Guitars didn’t forget about aesthetically pleasing features and it even has a pretty nice binding on both its body and neck. As its name suggests, this is one of the best guitars for those camping trips.

Cordoba Guitars Mini M

Of course, we need some love for nylon-string guitars here as well. For this purpose, we’re bringing Cordoba Guitars’ Mini M model. The instrument comes with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides. The scale length is significantly smaller, right at 20 inches. This makes it a great choice for a practice instrument and performance on it feels pretty great. What’s also really exciting is that you can also tune this instrument to standard A tuning, which opens up a lot of possibilities.

While distorted guitars tend to have a relatively similar tone, the sound of acoustic guitars is much easier to differentiate and pick up on; there are dozens of great-sounding models on the market, but if finding the best-sounding ones is a bit tricky if you don’t have a small fortune to expend.

Today we are going to talk about acoustic guitars that are on a level of their own in terms of sonic performance, playability, and tone, so without any further ado, let’s get straight to the reviews.

Washburn Comfort Series USM-WCG20SCE

We’re starting off with a Washburn-made guitar called USM-WCG20SCE. It’s arguably one of the best performing guitars from the acclaimed Comfort series; as most fans of the brand already know,
this series houses ultra-playable, sleek-looking guitar models, and USM-WCG20SCE represents it perfectly.

The tone of this guitar is derived from a very exotic combination of tonewoods, including Spruce on the top, bound rosewood on the back, and hardwood on the body.

It has an eclectic sound characterized by airy, bright highs and deep, vibrant lows. Although it’s quite expensive, USM-WCG20SCE is definitely a keeper as it also excels in durability like no other guitar in its price range.

Shecter 6 String Orleans Stage Acoustic Guitar

All Schecter guitars are beautiful, but most pale in comparison to the Orleans Stage 3710. This guitar boasts the exquisite Vampyre Red-Burst color complemented with a marvelous Satin finish that makes it such a beautiful eye candy.

In terms of tonewoods, Orleans Stage 3710 features Ebony top and back and a body made of mahogany; its tone leans towards the warmer end of the tonal spectrum; Ebony is the dominant tonewood in the construction of this guitar that provides it with the unique, hard-to-get vintage sound; if you are looking for top-quality sound, look no further than Shecter’s Orleans Stage acoustic guitar.

Guild Guitars Jumbo Jr Reserve Acoustic Guitar

Many professionals turn to Guild Guitars when searching for a quality instrument, mainly because the engineers of this brand craft the guitars thinking about both playability and sonic performance.

Even though the Jumbo Junior Reserve might not look as unique as some of the guitars Schecter, Ovation, or Gretsch have released, rest assured that this guitar has a massive sound to compensate for its lack of aesthetic elements.

This guitar features a Sitka Spruce body, Flamed Maple sides, Arched Maple body, Pau Ferro fingerboard, and a Maple neck. It leans toward the brighter end of the tonal spectrum, although the eclectic variety of tonewoods spread its tone evenly across all the other angles as well.

Gretsch Guitars Jim Dandy Flat Top Acoustic Guitar

People who are searching for a guitar that has a roaring bigger-than-life sound might want to check out Gretsch’s Jim Dandy.

This is one of the most popular acoustic guitars for a reason; it packs a highly playable C-shaped neck profile and impeccable hardware, but it also sports top-quality tonewoods.

Speaking of which, this guitar is mainly constructed from delicately refined Agathis; atop of the fact that this material is superior in terms of durability, it also gifts this guitar with a unique tone and sound that is extremely difficult to replicate.

Fender CD 60 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar

Being one of the oldest and most popular brands in the history of the guitar, Fender is the go-to company that beginners and professionals alike turn to when they want to get a quality instrument. One of their best-sounding guitars is the CD 60 Dreadnought.

This guitar features a Spruce top with Fender’s proprietary scalloped bracing, and it’s mainly built from Mahogany. Even though its tone is much warmer than that of an average acoustic guitar, it is still big enough to punch through audiences of hundreds of people.

In a nutshell, people who want to benefit from superb playability and highly controllable tone should look no further than the CD 60 Dreadnought.

Fender Newporter Player Acoustic Guitar

Here we have yet another model from Fender; the Newporter Player acoustic guitar is modeled after some of the finest-performing Fender electric guitars, and it is meant to provide a similar feel, action, and attack, albeit with a bit different tone.

This guitar features a Spruce top while the rest of the guitar is made of mahogany; just like our previous pick, this guitar has a distinctly warm tone, but due to its unique shape, it also benefits from an exceptionally stronger presence and sustain.

Oscar Schmidt OG2SM Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar

As we were descending deeper down on the ladder of the lower mid-range bracket we stumbled onto Oscar Schmidt’s OG2SM Dreadnought.

Some people can’t quite afford some of the Schecter’s, Guild’s, or even some of the pricier Fender guitars, so if your pocket is slightly shallower, this might be a perfect choice for you.

The OG2SM features Catalpa back & sides, a Maple top, and Ebony back; its tone is full-bodied and rich, and its presence is absolutely staggering in comparison to most mid-priced acoustic guitars.

Zager EZ-Play ZAD20 Acoustic Natural Dreadnought

Beginners and people on a cash-strapped budget who are looking for a great-sounding guitar should definitely check out Zager’s EZ-Play ZAD20 Dreadnought guitar. It sports a Spruce top while the rest of the construction is comprised of mahogany materials.

Even though it’s a bit heavier than usual, it offers a massive, yet highly controllable tone atop premium-quality hardware and excellent playability and intonation.

There’s nothing that compares to the tone of the good old acoustic guitar. Even with so many technological advancements and different effects for electric guitars, people still love to hear the natural and organic tone of a wooden resonance box. However, things aren’t always that simple.

It seems as if the only really good guitars on the market cost a fortune. While you might find a decent guitar for a lower price, it seems that nothing quite manages to get things going and deliver that great tone and performance that you want.

However, by looking more into stuff that’s available today, we can see that there are some mid-priced guitars worth checking out. So we decided to help you out by doing some research of our own and delivering a list of the best mid-range acoustic guitars. Any of these instruments will sound great and feel great, all while keeping the price within reasonable limits.

Guild OM-140CE

While it’s not as popular as a brand compared to some others out there, Guild Guitars manage to keep things at high standards. This is pretty obvious with an instrument like their OM-140CE acoustic guitar.

With a large body featuring spruce top and mahogany back and sides, you’ll get a very resonant tone that’s more or less balanced over the spectrum.

Additionally, this guitar has a single-cutaway design and a fairly comfortable mahogany neck that makes things running smoothly for both lead and rhythm players. It also comes with an amazing preamp and a piezo pickup.

Washburn HD100SWK Heritage 100

At the very mention of Washburn, the first thing that comes to mind is those very innovative electric guitars. However, the company has made a lot of great acoustic guitars as well.

A great example is their HD100SWK model that brings not only a great tone but is also very reliable and specially designed to fuse ergonomic qualities and aesthetics into one full package. Made fully of solid wood materials, we have a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, resulting in a very resonant and balanced tone.

This is all followed by top-level scalloped “X” bracing that adds to the guitar’s tone and overall reliability. We also have an amazing mahogany neck with a satin finish that makes it feel great and you can even feel it resonating under your fretting hand while playing.

Blueridge BR-42

Blueridge comes as one of the widely underrated brands, and they’re usually known among true lovers of acoustic tones. For this list, we’re bringing in their awesome BR-42 model. What’s rather interesting is that this guitar comes with the so-called “OOO” (or “triple-O”) body shape that’s noticeably bigger compared to most of the guitar models.

Along with its solid spruce top and mahogany sides and back, this results in a very unique tone that’s rich both in high- and bottom-ends. It also comes with a fairly slim mahogany neck that makes your playing experience enjoyable.

Fender CD-320

No matter the price level, your skills, or your preferred musical styles, you can’t ever go wrong with Fender guitars. That goes both for their electric and acoustic guitars. And here, we’d like to take a closer look at an amazing yet reasonably-priced CD-320 model.

This is a standard dreadnaught acoustic guitar with a total of 20 frets, a gorgeous mahogany neck, and a body with a solid Sitka spruce top. With the addition of mahogany back and sides, you’ll get a full tonal range in there, useful for any musical style that you might be into. This is all accompanied by quality tuning machines that keep things in perfect order.

Yamaha FG850

With massive experience in instrument building over the decades, Yamaha is still one of the most favored brands for almost any group of musical instruments that come to mind. If you need an acoustic guitar, you won’t ever regret getting one of their models, no matter the price level.

If we’re talking about some mid-range territories, then Yamaha’s FG850 comes as the best example of a guitar that’s a great deal for the price. But what’s interesting about it is that it has an all-mahogany body, along with a nato neck.

This particular build gives a nice accent to the mids and the bottom-end of the spectrum, making it sound a little smoother and darker compared to other guitars on this list. If this sounds like your kind of tone, then the FG850 is the right choice.

Ovation Applause AE44II-VV

It’s hard to avoid mentioning Ovation on a list of great guitars. After all, you won’t ever find guitars like them, and they’re especially useful for lead players. The one that we want to get into here comes from the company’s Applause Elite Series and brings vintage and modern elements in one unique guitar model.

Labeled as AE44II-VV, this one is one of Ovation’s finest examples of how they can create a pro-level instrument without putting an insane price tag on it. Aside from the composite Lyrachord material for the backside of the instrument, we have a layered spruce top.

Together, such a combination creates a tone that’s heavier on the higher-ends and mids. What’s more, it features a shallower body and it will feel almost as if you’re playing an electric guitar. Of course, AE44II-VV also features the CE304T preamp and Ovation’s Slimline piezo pickup that offers a lot of tone-shaping possibilities.

Just a couple of decades ago owning an instrument was a show of luxury; even the most basic acoustic guitars were super expensive, which is the reason most musicians were leaning on endorsements and record deals to buy better gear.

However, the picture has changed drastically, and now basically every second household has a guitar lying around somewhere. The fact of the matter is that you don’t need to invest more than $100 to get a quality acoustic guitar; moreover, the chances are you’ll be able to find some models that are even cheaper while offering similar features and qualities.

Today we’ve picked a couple of the finest cheap acoustic guitars, so without any further ado, let’s dive into the reviews.

Stagg SA 20A BLK 6-string Auditorium Acoustic guitar

Stagg’s SA 20A BLK should be a no-brainer pick if you are looking for a quality budget acoustic guitar. It features a combination of stained maple, Eastern mahogany and basswood in terms of tonewoods, which offer a balanced, full-bodied tone which is distinctly brighter and more controllable in comparison to other similarly priced models.

Additionally, this guitar offers excellent intonation and is durable as a wall of bricks; it’s a road-worthy guitar that can actually be used as a main guitar, as well as a reliable back-up instrument for gigging musicians. It does cost just slightly more than most low-end acoustic guitars, but luckily this is its only downside.

J&Z Beginner Acoustic Guitar ¾-size

J&Z’s beginner acoustic value bundle is comprised of everything a beginner guitarist needs; it features a high-quality leather strap, a reliable clip-on tuner, a pair of celluloid guitar picks, a polishing cloth, and a thoroughly padded gig bag.

The guitar that comes in this package is made of basswood and packs six nylon strings; its mellow tone is complemented by superb playability, although we should also mention that the fingerboard doesn’t feature inlays. This is an excellent choice for immediate starters who currently have nothing but the will to learn how to play the acoustic guitar.

3rd Avenue Acoustic guitar Blue Burst

Here we have another value bundle by 3rd Avenue; an acoustic guitar made of quality hardwood paired with a plethora of complementary features, such as a guitar stand, a nylon bag, a couple of picks, replacement strings, a chromatic tuner, and a guitar capo.

One of the main reasons why we’re recommending this guitar is that it looks absolutely gorgeous and has a sound that is almost equally beautiful. It comes pre-strung with light-gauge strings made of durable steel that further augment its exceptional playability.

HUAWIND Classical Acoustic Guitar ¾ Size

Our next pick is vintage-looking dreadnought made by Huawind; even though you probably haven’t heard about this brand, this guitar is among the best-sounding short-scaled acoustic axes that the current market has to offer.

It feature basswood construction and a laminated body; this essentially means that it’s exceptionally sturdy and that it offers a warm tone with plenty of sustain and overtones. Furthermore, its shortened scale length works like a charm for people with smaller hands, teens, and a bit older children. In a nutshell, it sounds great, feels awesome, and its playability is almost unequalled considering its price.

Master Play Left-handed Acoustic guitar Bundle

Since most ‘best guitar’ lists feature predominantly right-handed guitars, we’ve decided to include one for the lefties. The Master Play acoustic guitar features a sturdy hardwood construction, and even though its tone is not exemplary, it sounds nice and remains in tune for weeks.

It also comes with gratis guitar accessories, including a lightweight gig bag, three nylon guitar picks, a basic guitar strap, and a set of replacement strings. All things considered, this is a cheap guitar bundle made for left-handed guitar neophytes and starters.

CNBLue Acoustic Guitar

Next up we have CNBlue’s acoustic guitar; this is a full-scale basswood acoustic guitar that features a well-built body, an accessible easy-grip neck, and a sleek, smooth fingerboard. Its exceptional playability goes hand in hand with its bright, full-bodied tone.

Hardware-wise, it packs a decent tailpiece and a robust nut, as well as a set of reliable machine heads that will help you tune it easily. Lastly, CNBlue’s acoustic guitar comes with a complementary nylon gig bag.

JMFinger Beginner Classical Acoustic Guitar

Our final pick of the day is JMFinger’s Beginner classical acoustic guitar value package. Since this is our last recommendation, let’s give it a bit more attention; it features a basswood top and back while its body is comprised of laminated hardwood. This is a fairly common combination of tonewoods that offers a decent balance between tonal performance and long-lasting durability.

As far as hardware goes, it’s equipped with robust tuning pegs, a sturdy nut, and a reliable tailpiece. Its intonation is top-notch, and it is capable of staying in tune for weeks, even if you’re pounding on it all day long.

Last but certainly not least, this is a beginner’s bundle that comes supplied with a myriad of high-quality gratis features, such as a cool-looking guitar strap, JMFinger’s proprietary gig bag with side pockets and compartments, a pair of nylon picks, and a chromatic tuner.

At the end of the day, if your budget is low and you’re on the market searching for a high-quality guitar that doesn’t cost a fortune, JMFinger’s acoustic guitar might be your best bet.

Acoustic guitars are available in the span of $50 to well above $1,000, so the definition of a ‘cheap’ guitar is pretty straightforward.

Acoustic guitars are available in the span of $50 to well above $1,000, so the definition of a ‘cheap’ guitar is pretty straightforward. However, it’s also obvious that the bottom end of the acoustic guitar market is also the most crowded one, so finding the best budget acoustic axes is not as easy as it may initially sound.

Be that as it may, we’ve taken the liberty of handpicking some of the best-sounding, most durable and most playable acoustic guitars that do not cost an arm and a leg, so if that’s what you’re looking for, we’re more than happy to show off our selection:

Fender FA 115 Dreadnought Sunburst Bundle

We’re starting off with one of the big-league guitars from Fender, the FA 115 Dreadnought Sunburst bundle. Essentially, this is as far as a low budget will take you when you’re looking for a low-end acoustic guitar, so feel free to get your expectations high.

This is a quality dreadnought-shaped guitar with a spruce body, laminated mahogany and back, and a Nato neck with a gloss finish; basically, due to the fact that it’s mainly made of laminated hardwoods it boasts a superior level of durability, but it also sounds exceptionally well.

The hardware is decent too, and it stays in tune for weeks at a time.

Moreover, you will also receive a variety of complementary features, including a padded gig bag, a guitar strap, a couple of Fender picks, replacement strings, and a clip-on tuner.

Best Choice Products 38-in Beginner All Wood Acoustic Guitar Starter Kit

Next up is BCP’s full-scale 38-inch hardwood acoustic guitar pack. Essentially, Best Choice Products’ guitar features a hardwood top and back and a body made of quality Sapele. Its tone is eclectic and full-bodied, and its frets are tailor-made for beginners and starting musicians.
 

Furthermore, it also comes with the essential accessories, including replacement strings, a guitar bag, a few picks, and a guitar strap; the only thing that you probably won’t like so much about it is the fact that its fingerboard doesn’t feature built-in inlays, so it might take you a while to get accustomed to it.

Navarra D S05 F501281829 Acoustic Guitar

Navarra is not a household name in the acoustic guitar world, but D S05 is easily one of the finest cheap acoustic guitars that the market has to offer. It features a robust laminated construction and exceptionally sturdy chromed hardware; this basically means that it can withstand a rough pounding while remaining in tune.

In terms of sonic performance we have to note that there are probably better sounding guitars; even so, it sounds great for the buck, and it even comes outfitted with a two-way truss rod that heavily reinforces and welcomes any and all neck tweaks and adjustments playability-wise.

Tiger ACG1 6 String Acoustic Guitar

Tiger’s ACG1 is a basswood-made small-bodied acoustic guitar that offers a distinctly warm tone complemented with deep lows and strong presence. It offers great sustain, and the cutaway-design provides easy access to the higher frets, which means that its playability is also top-notch.

Furthermore, it’s easily one of the most robust acoustic guitar models on the market, and the chances are that beginner players will stick with it for years, if not decades to come. The instrument’s petite body also makes it incredibly convenient for people with a bit smaller hands. Lastly, this is a starter pack that features coloured replacement strings, a padded gig bag, and a guitar strap.

Artall 39-inch handmade solid wood acoustic cutaway guitar

Artall’s handmade guitar is an excellent choice for people who are looking for an exquisite handmade acoustic axe but who don’t want to spend a fortune on one. It’s made of basswood, just like our previous pick, and it offers roughly the same level of durability and similar sonic performance.

As far as playability goes, it offers a single-cutaway design that provides improved accessibility to the higher notes, and medium-sized jumbo frets laden with clearly visible inlays, so it’s pretty obvious that it was meant for up-and-coming guitar legends.

Tenson F500045 Concert Guitar Classic

People who are looking for a great-sounding cheap acoustic guitar might want to take a look at what Tenson’s F500045 Concert guitar has to offer. This guitar features basswood back & sides, maple-made fingerboard & bridge, and a top made of spruce, so the selection of tonewoods it has to offer is pretty balanced and versatile.
 

It also excels in aesthetics as it sports a beautiful high-gloss finish; to top it all, it also packs a shortened scale length, so it’s well-suited for children, teens and people with a bit shorter hands.

Star 6 Acoustic Guitar 38-inch

Our final pick of the day is Star 6’s 38-inch Acoustic Guitar; this is a full-scale dreadnought guitar that offers excellent tone and superb playability, if you don’t mind the fact that it doesn’t have any inlays on the fingerboard.

This guitar is made of hardwood for the most part, and even though this may not be the go-to tonewood for professional guitarists, it’s perfect for beginners and people on a budget because it affords it the much-needed durability.

On a side note, it also rocks complementary guitar picks, a clip-on tuner, and a thoroughly padded gig bag. It’s exceptionally cheap, and it’s among the sturdiest acoustic guitars in the price range.
