“Junior”. Fishmans, Old Violin Finish
My daily player for sure. As a country guitarist I’ve always been more partial to an acoustic and this is perfect for me. Lightweight for being onstage, great tone, tuners are perfect (I have literally travelled miles with only a gig bag and it’s been perfectly in tune) and a genuinely beautiful guitar. Could not recommend any more especially within the price range it’s in.

A perfect starter guitar!
This is the first guitar I bought with my own money, and it lasted me several years, from learning basics to live performances and recordings of my own music several years later. It's versatile, a great quality for the price, and no issues with cheap materials or anything like that became an obstacle for me through the beginning stages of guitar playing. A friend of mine who had the same guitar had similar things to say about it. It was tragically broken in a freak accident, so I'm on the market for another acoustic, but the APX600 gave me a high standard to seek out moving forward. Would've played it for several more years if I could've.
It's a bit more than some of the absolute cheapest acoustics on the market, but the slightly higher price is more than made up for in build quality and ease of playing. Amazing beginner-friendly guitar, but equally as good for a songwriter, an already-experienced musician looking to get a different instrument to learn, or anyone looking for a guitar in this price range.
