Having fun with your guitar and ready for the next step?

You might be thinking, "If I get a more expensive guitar, it'll sound better and be easier to play, so I'll get even better..." That's a common thought.

However, there are also many guitars under 100,000 yen that are meticulously crafted by skilled artisans and produce amazing sounds. Whether you're looking for a second acoustic guitar, aiming for the next level after mastering the basics, or simply want to add to your guitar collection, this is a must-read!

Top 5 Budget-Friendly Acoustic Guitars

1. YAMAHA LL16 ARE Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Here it is, the undisputed champion of Japanese acoustic guitars.
Yamaha's proprietary A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) technology is a game-changer. By treating the wood used in the guitar's body, it achieves a rich resonance that normally only comes with years of playing. This process involves no chemicals, instead relying on precise control of temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure to simulate the aging process of wood. The result is improved sound transmission and vibration efficiency, enhancing the sustain of low and mid frequencies, and increasing the attack and decay speed of high frequencies. This all translates to a well-balanced, warm, and mature sound with minimal harsh overtones.
In essence, this guitar is a dream come true. It allows you to bypass the "break-in" period that good guitars usually require to reach their full potential, delivering a loud yet refined sound right out of the box.

2. MARTIN 000JR-10

The MARTIN acoustic guitar, a dream for many, offers trusted and proven sound quality.
If you're unsure about what makes a guitar sound good or can't tell the difference, trying this guitar will let you experience the real deal.
It features an FSC Certified Richlite fingerboard for excellent playability, a Sitka Spruce top, and Sapele sides and back, delivering the elegant tone unique to MARTIN.
Its triple O size makes it easy to play for women and children.

3. RECORDING KING / RO-328 Triple O Type

This is also a smaller-sized acoustic guitar, featuring Indian Rosewood for the sides and back, a material that is becoming increasingly rare.
Despite its price range, this exceptional guitar is crafted with meticulous attention to materials, making it truly unique.
One of the charms of an acoustic guitar is the way its tone changes as you play it, and this model allows you to fully enjoy that experience.

4. TAKAMINE / PTU731KC N

Beautiful, bright sound from the cedar top and Hawaiian koa sides and back! It features a chromatic tuner that can be turned on and off with the TUNER POWER switch on the front panel. The stylish body color and high-precision craftsmanship of Japan-made guitars make it very appealing.

5. OVATION / Celebrity Elite Plus CE44P-FKOA

Here's another classic acoustic-electric guitar, the OVATION, also available in this price range.
Its unique shape and sound, along with the comfortable feel of the bowl-shaped back, are some of its appealing features.
Soushi Sakiyama, an artist from my hometown of Shizuoka Prefecture, is also a fan of OVATION guitars.
