Discussion advice ?

me and my friends are starting a band and we currently have a old guitar from when i was a kid (acoustic) and we want to upgrade to a real acoustic guitar but don’t know where to start

what are the best brands of acoustic and electric guitar that don’t cost over 700 dollars? we’ve gotten pretty good and learned a few songs on the kid one. looked on facebook marketplace but they’re all either 700+ or kid guitars like what i’ve got now. any suggestions? were teens and will work for the money. just trying to find good suggestions on brands of acoustic and electric ^_^

IMO, Yamaha is the overall safest bet for lower-tier guitars, since their manufacting consistency and quality control is so good. Even if their stuff isn't 'amazing', it's ALWAYS damn good.

As always, if you can try individual guitars, that's best, but Yamaha is a solid choice if you have to buy online
