[Closed] next guitar after a 3/4 acoustic?

You can't go wrong with a Yamaha. Pretty much the de facto acoustic for folkies. There are plenty of alternatives these days, but the FG series was pretty much ubiquitous at one time.
You should be able to find a good instrument from £100 up.

That's funny - I was just about to type 'you can't go wrong with a Yamaha'...

Two minds, etc... 😆
This little list is a good place to start, I reckon:

Guess what, there are two Yamahas on there!
Also a Takamine, which may not be familiar name to many, anyone who regularly goes to concerts where acoustic guitars are played will be instantly familiar with them, they're possibly the most common acoustic used live, the next either Gibson or Taylor.
The reason? They're good sounding, well-made, but more important, they're not fragile. Gigging musicians do not need guitars that have to be cosseted. Gibson's are tough guitars, but they do have a heavier action, or at least the larger models do.

Looks over my shoulder to my Takamine on its stand in the corner...I'm still in love.

A parlour Yahamaha for sure. Careful choosing as I found lots of them quite big

[points at bright electric blue FG202 in the corner] It's the only thing I'd rescue in a fire I think

Is this a move from nylon string classical to steel acoustic?
My daughter went to an Adam Black, a not often found brand. It's lovely, Maybe a bit beyond the £150, but seek out a special deal?

Slippery slope though, we now have problems finding hanging space in her bedroom for them all... 7 in total and a recent 'We could do with a [second] bass...?'

'We could do with a [second] bass...?'

Everyone needs at least two basses....3 really as you'll need a Jazz Bass, a modern active 5 string and a fretless of some description....you could probably do with a upright too 🙂

As for a new guitar, is she definitely sticking with acoustic guitar? Or will she be moving on towards more electric based stuff? If she has a teacher I'd discuss it with them and make sure the instrument that you get will be suitable for the music that she will be progressing on to.

Just spoke to my brother in law and he is investigating a Simon & Patrick for me?

Not surprised. I really have no idea how many times I've seen them sitting on stands or in racks on stage, and being played by top musicians.
It's surprising how much punishment even a guitar like a Martin will take, though, despite often being referred to as a bit fragile as a touring instrument; Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls has worn holes in the top of two of hers, below and in front of the scratchplate!

I wish to be, but really am never going to be one of those. 😥

My Niece has one of those Ed Sherrin Martin LX acoustic guitars, really playable, and really loud for a small bodied guitar.

They're nice.

Seagull, Godin, Simon & Patrick, all part of the same Canadian company, very well respected instruments.

Cort seem to be getting very good reviews lately too.

Thanks for the help folks.

A mate of mine bought his youngest step-daughter a Seagull years ago, we were all very impressed with what you got for £100...
Try buying one for anywhere near that now!
