I've owned an Ibanez AEF Acousitc, but I sold it when I realized how much better the even the non-USA made Taylor 110C sounded. IT was less expensive that the Ibanez I had bought too! Looking into getting a higher end Taylor acoustic soon.
I like the ovations but the necks just don't feel right in my hands. They sound great though(in my opinion).
I REALLY like the sound and feel of high end Breedloves. The action can get unbelievably low, and they sound HUGE!. Just can't afford one

.
What are you all's opinions on these? IF you have one I'm sure everyone would enjoy pictures!

The only acoustic from those brands that I've played is an Ibanez that happened to be at our school's music room lol.

Where I live, the Australian acoustic brands Maton and Cole Clark are top of the range

I personally like Ovations, and Taylor, out of the brands you mentioned.

I have never played any of those brands. I have heard and seen the Ibanez acoustic guitars are they are pretty sweet. I play a yamaha g230.

cool. thats a classical right?
Some yamaha stuff surprises me. I played this one cheap yamaha and it sounded really good(it also had like extremely thick strings on it).

yeah I'm not too much of a fan of the ibanez acoustics, though some of the different wood ones (forgot all the technical terms lol) do sound pretty decent and look cool. everyone knows guitars have to look cool

The only acoustic I've played is a Fender. It played pretty nice but it had steel-strings and I'm not really fond of that

I prefer nylon-strings. I think ít feels better on your fingers and they are more slinky.

I have an old fender acoustic, not quite sure on the model to be honest lol. It plays nice, I lowered the action and adjusted the truss rod some too.

I've recently played a few Cort acoustics and they are pretty much the clearest sounding acoustics I can recall playing. They just have such a ring to them.

Nice! I've never played one but I'd love too! I really want to try a Carvin Acoustic! aghh!
