My first Wester guitar.

michelemichele Frets: 1
in Acoustics
Hello everyone!
I am going to buy my first western guitar.
My budget is not very high so I won't be able to buy any of those very expensive guitars, albeit I'd like to say that not always the most expensive is accordingly also the best.

So, I am struggeling with my taking a decision.
I would like to have a cutaway model. 
Which of the following three guitars would you buy and why? 


Thank you in advance for your kind help!

    Michele, it would be helpful if you said what your budget was. Also, why do you need a cutaway?

    My budget does not go over the price of these guitars. So around this price.
    Well, I simply prefer a cutaway.

    All 3 there are similarly priced, not too hard to work out what the budget is... ;)

    Two of them are all-mahogany, and they'll have a distinct sound compared with the usual spruce top/mahogany (ply) back & sides. Probably a good idea to try an all-mahogany guitar, to make sure that's the sound you like.

    Out of three I'd go for the Cort, mainly because I've tried the Ibanez acoustics and didn't like them.

    If I had £270 to spend I'd buy second hand - probably a Yamaha LL6 and I wouldn't be too fussed about the cutaway unless access above the 14th fret was a major concern.

    I see you call it a western guitar, I know this is common in Europe. I take it you'r not in the UK.
    Do you play classical / Spanish / nylon strung ?.
    I suggest you go out and play some guitars and choose the one you like the feel and sound of , then look online for the best price.
    btw, a cutaway is usually more expensive, I know they're taking something away and charging you for it.
