7 of the Best Acoustic Guitars Under $200

If you're an aspiring acoustic guitar player, there’s no need to invest in a high-end guitar when you're simply trying to master the basics. If you’re an established player, it’s always nice to have an extra guitar around the house for practicing and working out ideas without putting added wear and tear on your main instrument. Knowing this, we’ve compiled a list of some of the most reliable and best-sounding acoustic and acoustic-electric steel-string guitars from top-name manufacturers—all under $200. We’re sure these guitars will fit the bill without the bill giving you a fit.

Yamaha F335 Acoustic Guitar

One of Guitar Center's top-selling acoustics, the Yamaha F335 features a classic dreadnought shape and comes in your choice of three colors: Natural, Tobacco Brown Sunburst or Black. The F335’s bright treble notes and warm mids come from its laminated spruce top, which is paired with a lightweight meranti body, and rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Yamaha has finished it off with gold die-cast tuners, a urea nut and saddle, cream and black body binding, and a decal soundhole rosette.
