Interesting list. I've never cared for Ovation or Yamaha. Interesting that Takamine didn't make the list. I chose my Guild after playing just abt everything out there, and, to me, it's still the best.

I can absolutely live with that TOP 10. And especially the hint regarding the Fenders is so true. They really build some awesome acoustics at Fender.
"A lot of people in the industry want to blame downloading for the state of the business. But I think if most music wasn't shit to begin with people wouldn't be downloading it for free," - Corey Taylor (Slipknot)
First of all, a 'Folk' guitar is a particular type of acoustic guitar. Not all acoustic guitars are folk guitars. So this list is flawed to start with. It's bogus, to the point where it was either compiled out of ignorance or bliss from paid sponsorship by the listed Top 10-- or thier sellers. I note 2 of the 3 'sponsored links', paid Search Engine Marketing devices, are Musician's Fiend and Guitar Center. Still, only 4 of the 10 - Fender, Gretsch, Guild and Ovation - are all part of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. So why isn't Takamine, also now part of FMIC, on the list?
Just one example of how flawed this list is: John Lennon played an Epiphone, true...but a Casino, not an acoustic. Yamaha and Fender get similar credit for their electric players.
There's no way that Fender, Gretsch and Epiphone belong on any Top 10 Acoustic guitar list. I have a Guild made in Guild's prime, when they certainly rivaled Martin & Gibson. But I wouldn't consider today's Guilds among the Top 10, nor would I include Ovation or Yamaha.

I'm saddened that they only state brands and not models. There are good and bad in every brand. This article could lead one to believe that just because it says Epiphone, for instance, on the headstock that it is going to be a good guitar and we all know that isn't always the case.
I'd like to see a 'these guitars in this price range have been proven to be consistent performers and are the best value' article.

That is not a straight accoustic my tater brother
Gallotone Champion acoustic (1st?)
martin d-28
12 string hopf? (correct spelling?)
Ive seen a gibson accoustic(not sure which model) he is holding sometime during his sparse accoustic recordings:
I am just adding to this quick off topic and really without research ! So basically this is an ol mans opinion humbly and respectful like:
One can wikipedia/google it I suppose :

Ummm...not so, I'll bet he never even saw one, let alone play one... it was a Gibson J-160E and I'll bet George Harrison even got one just like it at the same time in 1962:Originally Posted by Spudman
That Epiphone commemorative version has only been made for about 10-12 years. Gibson also makes a Lennon model, too, besides the regular J-160E.
