Help me pick an acoustic guitar - with poll

[Hammerhead]

I want an acoustic guitar with a sunburst design for under $200 and I'm trying to decide between these two guitars. Which one would you get?

Wasburn

or

Fender

If you can manage to squeeze an extra $80 into your budget, I would recommend this
Or if you decide you can live without the sunburst, go with this

Good luck with your purchase!

I picked up a new Takamine this weekend. It sounds great and I'm very happy with it.

I'm not too crazy about either. "Grover 'STYLE' tuners"??? WTF is that??? I agree that the Yamaha that Nakedfrog listed is a pretty decent instrument. At that price level, staying in tune is going to be more important than decent sound.

You would be better waiting till you have 400-500.00. The quality level there is much better then the cheap laminates you are going to get around 200.00. At least thats my opinion. I do have a cheap ibenez that is just great, I think it was 250. My Takamine though is a much better instrament, and I got it on sale for around 500 if I remember right. Of course none of them compare to my talyor (12-string) and martin, but I had to take out loans to get them, and even though they sound great and everyone who see's them ohhh's and ahhh's. I'm not sure they were worth the fee. In fact, most of the time. I find myself playing the Takamine because i'm too afraid to take my other's out of the house.
