10 best acoustic guitars under £300

Ask MusicRadar: we asked, you answered

The MusicRadar Team, Tue 25 Aug 2009, 3:04 pm UTC

Buying an acoustic guitar can be a daunting prospect. Playability, tone and build quality must all be taken into consideration but (particularly with the relatively modest budget of £300) all too often a rushed, and ultimately wrong purchase is made. Until now…

This, the second guitar instalment of the Ask MusicRadar series, is a gallery of the top 10 acoustic guitars as voted for by you - the music-making, guitar-buying public.

Just like acoustic guitars, your nominations were personal and, of course, varied. But we do have a winner. So sit back, grab a pick and scroll through the 10 best acoustics under £300, all of which are well worthy of your consideration. First up: a Vintage favourite - the V1300...

Why you love it:

“Vintage should always be counted in any budget category – I think you can pick up a V1300 acoustic for around £300 which was one of my first guitars and very sweet sounding.” (Thanks, comedy_dave)

  • Johnny Andrew Dewey YoungI use an epiphone ej200 and it's grown to become one of my favorite guitars I own. also one of the cheapest ones I one. deep rich tone. and it ages well. put some martin strings on that baby and maybe raise the fretboard a little and you're set.
  • Ben Rosenbergtrinity college, recording king and blueridge guitars all crush this list of pulpy mediocrity. pick up any one of these makers' guitars and they are every bit an "A" to a Collings "A+". seriously. as heartbreaking as it is to admit it, the chinese and korean factories have truly caught up. and 90 percent less expensive that a cruz or collings.

  • Nicholas VesterOn the web it has become very politically correct to hate Fenders in al shapes and sounds! If it's envy or plain stupidity, I don't know? The Kingman sounds fantastic - like an acoustic version of the Jazz Bass! I love mine, and prefer it often as my main bass for weeks. Fender - we love you! :-)
