looking for a cheap small acoustic guitar

Postby negninegaw » Wed Jul 15, 2020 9:19 am

I am looking for a cheap (chinese?) small (about 90 cm) steel string 12 fret acoustic guitar, preferably spruce top.
Maybe a 'parlor' model. For traveling. Anyone?

I've just bought a 3/4 size acoustic for my Grandaughters birthday, I searched on Gumtree, just put in a distance you are prepared to look at, you should find a few there. However most guitars of that size are going to be nylon stringed, you can swap strings though.

What about a surge on the Thomann website(Harley Benton Traveler-steel for €59)https://www.thomann.de/nl/harley_benton_traveler_steel.htm

or Marktplaats.

Don't forget your local Cash Converters ( i.e. a pawn shop). I have picked up a few bargains in recent years, never paid more than £100 - then take it back and they will take in back in part exchange - my local shop seems to turn over quite a bit of music gear. By comparison, the music gear stores,( like Andertons in Guildford) have got to charge a bit more to cover their overheads. Ebay stuff seems to be too overpriced, not like 5/10 years ago IMHO.

Kindest regards,
Christopher
