I am looking to buy an acoustic guitar. Don't know much about them. Had one a few years ago but kind of gave up on it. Now I have more time on my hands.
Am looking to buy a new one, between 100-200k won. I guess if it's worth it would go as high as 250.

Been looking around on Gmarket a bit. Anyone have a recommendation?

I got a Swing acoustic guitar at Nakwon Arcade about a month ago. I paid 260,000 (bargained down from a sticker price of 320, with a couple of freebies thrown in). I'm VERY impressed with the guitar. I figure to get a similar quality acoustic back in Canada would have run me about $600-700.

Basically, I'd suggest heading to Nakwon Arcade (plan to spend most of your day, it's pretty insane) and go around picking at guitars until you find one that strikes your fancy. But definitely check out the Swings. Fine guitars, indeed.

Also Peerless, BugsGear, Cort Earth 200 and Linus are pretty good.

The Gibson Flying V and Ibanez RG/Prestige series have always been my axes of choice. For you guys banging around on acoustics..The Korean made Dexter I have is not too shabby. You can't rock out with your **** out with it...but it does the job.

Zappa Delta...I've lost ALL respect for you! A guy that flies with a Dweezil avatar is talking about buying a 100-200 dollar guitar?! Really?! If you are REALLY a Zappa fan -- and after rocking out with the Zappa Does Zappa Band during their Japan tour with Vai -- I can say this with confidence...WTF?! You want a real acoustic guitar...buy an Ovation (which are made in Korea) or a Takamine. Done and done...
