Best Acoustic & Electro Acoustics Under £250. Acoustic Guitars For Beginners

As one the UKs leading Guitar Specialists - our reputation is built on supplying ONLY instruments that we consider to be benchmarks in their genre - and that is why I recommend Vintage brand guitars.

The Vintage Brand Acoustic & Electro-Acoustic Range Provide Benchmark Guitars for Quality, Value, Tone & Playability

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE LOOKIING AT MY RECOMMENDATIONS

Our focus as a specialist is to ensure you receive a PERFECT playing instrument.  Sadly - most (and I mean most by a long way) never set up the guitars and they focus on selling the guitars as cheap as possible - but PLEASE trust me - this is a false economy - especially if you are a beginner.

Sadly (again), its the beginners who often dont realise just how big a mistake it is to buy a cheaper guitar without a setup - whilst for us - its a very expensive process to provide (we charge £90 for private setups).

To ensure we provide the best of both worlds we provide you a "base price" WITHOUT the setup - which is 25% OFF retail!  A huge saving - and then we offer you the PRO setup at half price which we call "Vintage Custom Pro" (£45)

I cannot stress the importance and value of this work and please trust me - nobody is giving you what we do - for free - on a £100 acoustic.  We do in fact provide this free on our other brands but as i say - all I want is for you to be inspired.  If I didnt care or wanted an easy life I wouldnt even bother mentioning it.   I hope you can trust me (Please check my reviews for thousands that have an havent regretted it!).  Ok - Lets carry on with some incredible acoustics & electros which are an amazing opportunity for any beginner to get into playing acoustic guitar.

Click on the link to order your pro setup at 50% off - Your guitar will be fully certificated to show the setup has been carried out - and will of course play like a dream.

 

I would never wish for a beginner or someone on a limited budget be compromised in any way and it is imperative that people on all budgets and at all stages of their playing have access to the very best guitars available - so with that in mind - this list of the best acoustic and electro acoustic guitars - all under |£250 should see you inspired for the coming years ahead.

Remember - anything you need to know - We are here for you.  Click on the live chat, email or call us - We will give you all the advice you need and make sure you get an acoustic guitar that plays like a dream.

1. Vintage  VE100MH – £134.  Simply the best "Travel" guitar you will find for the money
The VE100MH is an utterly wonderful entry-level acoustic guitar f(in fact ELECTRO so you can plug in too at this price!!).  Being electro - it also has a built in guitar tuner so saving on the need to purchase that separately.  Those looking for warm, rich tones. Its all-mahogany construction enhances tonal depth and clarity, and the travel-size body is perfect for portability.  This guitar would suit anyone from adults on the move - wanting to throw the guitar in the back and pull out at the services for quick acoustic jam - right through to young children who may struggle on a larger guitar.  SO many people will find this guitar a total pleasure.  
I cannot stress enough - to get the very best out of this instrument - due to the ridiculously low prices we charge - we cannot inlcude our Pro Setup worth £90 (in this case nearly the value of the guitar itselfr!!) for free as we do on guitars that are several hundred pounds - but due to our commitment to all our customers we offer our Full Pro setup which we call "Vintage Custom Pro". for just £45 which means this guitar is guaranteed to play like a PRO instrument - TRUST ME - ITS TRUE! :). The same goes for all the guitars you see below too.  Just add the Vintage Cusom Pro Setup and you are guaranteed a pro playing instrument rather than a standard factory setup which you can imagine at this price isnt going to be the best.
