5 POPULAR Acoustic Guitars Luthiers Say You Should NEVER Buy (Here's Why) Some of the best-selling acoustic guitars in the world hide their biggest compromise in one line of the spec sheet. In this video, we count down five popular acoustics you should skip, and the specific model to buy instead for the same money or less. We cover the Fender FA-115 Dreadnought Pack and why the CD-60S pack at the same price is the smarter starter guitar. We look at the Martin Backpacker's missing truss rod and awkward shape, and why the Little Martin LX1 fixes it. We explain what the Ovation Celebrity CS24's Lyrachord bowl really does to your tone, and why the Takamine GD30CE is the better stage-and-couch guitar. Then we dig into the Taylor GS Mini-e Rosewood's layered back and short scale against the all-solid Martin 000 Jr E Sapele, and the Taylor 214ce Plus's rosewood-poplar-rosewood back against the all-solid Yamaha AC3R ARE. If you're shopping for a new acoustic guitar, whether it's your first or your next, this is the spec-sheet check to do before you pay. Which popular acoustic surprised you most?
