Buy the Fender Classic Design Series CD60CE Cutaway Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar Black

Buy this the Fender CD60CE black acoustic guitar if you are looking for an inexpensive acoustic-electric guitar to jam out with friends, practice on, maybe do an open mic night or two at some coffee shops, and perhaps maybe even do little laid back recording with. If you don’t want to spend more then $269.99 on a black acoustic guitar, than you will love this fender. When I tested it out I really liked how it played, it really was not that bad for an introductory level guitar. It has decent action and the sound quality is not too shabby for the low price tag. Actually, looking back I must say that the action was a tad bit too high for my taste. This is easily solved by a trip to you local family owned music store. Just take it in and they can lower it to meet your playing needs. I would really recommend doing this for the beginner playing, because the higher the action, the difficult it is to play.

So how does it sound? Well unplugged it has a crispy bright tone, it was rather surprising to hear consider it’s rocking a laminate top. The highs sound fantastic but I was little disappointed with low-end projection, definitely look more towards a larger jumbo if that deep low sound is more your style. When you plug this guy in you should be surprised to see that the 3 dial equalizer is pretty darn responsive and with minimal effort you can find yourself a good sound to suit your play style. This Fender black acoustic guitar also comes with an on-board tuner which is another huge perk for newbies who cannot tune by ear or pros who are just too lazy to and if you were wondering, I was told it does stay in tune quite well. Obviously this guitar should not be played with the expectations that it will sound like a Martin or a Taylor, it just doesn’t. But for the $269.99 price tag, the fender quality name, the look, and the sound cannot be beat.

I would really recommend this guitar for a beginner or an experienced musician who wants a cheap guitar he can beat up and take into situations you wouldn’t otherwise take your real baby (your Martin/Taylor/Gibson).

Taylor T5 Custom Acoustic-Electric Guitar with Spruce Top Black

$2,299.00

Buy Taylor T5 Custom Acoustic-Electric Guitar with Spruce Top Black

The only thing that can be said about this Taylor black acoustic guitar: top notch. After spending way to long trying the Taylor T5 Custom black acoustic guitar out, I am firm in my beliefs that Taylor may have crafted the perfect shallow body guitar. Of course it has the beautiful Taylor sound one would come to expect, but what struck me is the amazing attention to detail in the design, much attention has been paid to the little details which make this black acoustic guitar one of a kind.
To be honest though, it sounds mediocre as a standalone. I would be lying if I said it sounds 10/10 unplugged because, honestly, it does not. It is a Shallow body guitar with sound holes, and as most musicians know, that kills the unplugged sound. Shallow body guitars tend to sound a bit thin, and this guitar is no exception as it is with any other unplugged shallow body guitar on the market such as the shallow bowl Ovations, so do not expect to run a gig unplugged and be heard.
But then when you plug her in… it’s a heavenly experience. It is a tone that you truly need to hear to understand. Often times you will hear guitar traditionalists degrade the sound on shallow body guitars because the tone is not as deep as a regular one, but the acoustic sound voice on this black acoustic guitar sounds truly astonishing, especially taking into account the body it’s built with. I may believe that nothing beats a true acoustic Taylor, but this baby pushes me to reevaluate that opinion.
What else is so great? It has ridiculously fast action (ease of play), and I love the feel, the sound, the neck, the color, finish, tuners, fret work, materials. I would definitely recommend this guitar for someone looking for shallow body black acoustic guitars with the money to spend.

Breedlove Atlas Series Stage Black Magic C25 Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar Black

$999
Breedlove Atlas Series Stage Black Magic C25 Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar Black

The new Stage Black Magic C25 is for serious performers looking for the best acoustic-electric stage guitar available. The black glossy & abalone aesthetic is a powerful statement on stage. The all new LR Bagg’s Stage Pro pickup has an onboard EQ, volume control, notch, filter and a stealthy chromatic tuner with in-line mute function for perfect silence between sets. Acoustically the guitar is extremely sophisticated, balanced, and designed for sustain. Enjoy Kim Breedlove’s all-new Stage inlay pattern.

This guitar played better than a number of other black acoustic guitars with bigger brand names ( G’s and T’s ) for less money!

The acoustic sound is very good, as good as some acoustic electrics that cost up to $500 more. It has excellent definition with a bright clear tone. The amplified sound with the Baggs pickup system really shines. Very true acoustic tone when plugged in. The neck isn’t too wide, so it can be a comfortable switch from electrics. The onboard tuner is very handy.

I’ve play many black acoustic guitars in this price area and considerably above, and would definitely say this instrument is amazing for the price. If you are looking to for a $2k+ guitar with a $1k budget this should definitely be bought. Breedlove has a great web site and forum too!
