    I should add he's not looking to spend too much, cheap as possible

    Not a Harley Benton but it's one of PMT's in-house brand 'Eastcoast'. I've got one of these.Very nice finish and a full, rich sound, mahogany back and sides and a spruce top for budget money.

    I took my daughter to PMT last summer to try all the acoustics, the Washburn harvest series was easily the beat out of the cheaper ones, we paid £170 I believe. I think they are £150 now.

    Quite a few years ago  the Vintage V300 won a guitar magazine, best acoustic under £1000 award . I think it is still well under £200 and I’m sure I’ve seen one second hand lately, might be on here.

    that Harley Benton that looks like a Martin D40 is lush . Was always fond of those Washburn EA series too . Craig chaquico or whatever used to play I. Starship I think.  Then there’s APX by Yamaha .

    I tried one similar to this in-store, exceptional value for money.  Some of the range are as little as £99.
    We have to be so very careful, what we believe in...
