Hello!
I own a Takamine G-Series Acoustic (EG530SC) guitar and I'm in the market
for a small amplifier that would sound good but yet not break me
financially. I'm only a beginner and so my equipment knowledge is limited.
If someone could put this newbie on the right track with a suggested brand
or model, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks and have a Happy New Year!

What price range are you looking at?
Are you looking for an acoustic amp?
Zoom Fire amps are not that expensive and they have built in effects and
more......

Yes, I am looking for an acoustic amp. Do they carry acoustic amps in the
Zoomfire line?
I'll check out their webpage and see! Thanks for the info thus far, and
sorry so long getting back in here!

Fender also makes great, reliable Acoustisonic amps. SWR also sounds great.

If you just want a practice amp and dont want to spend alot of money, The
Pignose Hog 20 sells for about $99.00 US and Musiciansfriend.com have them
in stock. I have one to use as a mobile little amp and you can use it where
there is no power as it have Ni-Cad batteries or you can use the AC
adapter. Just depends on what you want to use it for.

What ever amp you end up choosing, try and pick one with a 12 inch speaker
or so. it will give you a fuller sound with a bigger speaker, which sounds
nice with an accoustic.
Being a beginner , I'd suggest staying around 30 watts or less, (that'll
still make your ears bleed if you want) and keep the price down low.
One last thing,,, you might get a bargin on ebay, my point of thinkin is
that no one beats an accoustic amp much, find one locally so you can pick
it up and save shipping charges. That also saves the middleman charges
(guitar shop boosts up trade ins) and you can try it out to make sure it's
not a dud.
Buying it used means you can sell it for the same price you paid for it
(if you dont get ripped).

p.s. make sure it's for a accoustic amp. model name usually starts with an
A. should have a speaker and horn/tweeter. Electric guitar amps aint the
same/wont do you justice.
