im looking to get a new guitar

this one…http://www.guitarcenter.com/Taylor-210-Dreadnought-Acoustic-Guitar-514964-i1148419.gc

It says on the description to play with Elixir light gauge strings with NANOWEB coating, but i don't really like light gauge strings, they sound too twangy and don't really sound as heavy. I was wondering what strings are good for this guitar to get more of a deeper, heavier tone, but not too heavy. OR do these strings NEED to have those strings ??

Elixir is a pretty good string, I used them for a long time and still will, on occasion. You can go heavier on the gauge though. Taylors are well crafted and can withstand the tension. Try a set of 12 gauge Elixirs…of DRs. If you aren't used to it it's going to hurt a little at first, but your sound will be deeper. You might try tuning down a half or whole step as well to get a lower sound and ease the tension created by the heavier strings.

I have an ibanez and i love it, they have Ibanez of all prices and aviuosly the more expensive they are the better they are. I really recomend the one I have, its is the R G 2 EX1 it was about 300 at guitar center and i have nothing but good things to say about it. but If you are willing to pay more than that get an expensive ibanez because in my opinion the make the best electric guitars. but i play metal and thats just my opinion

I honestly prefer the cherry sunburst tan.

This doesn't really fit in the books and authors section, but oh well…

My personal favorite is the Goldtop, though mine has the Classic finish.

I've been playing the acoustic guitar for a long time now. I've never really gotten the chance to play an electric until the other day…I loved it! I don't have much money to spend (around $200 or $300…better if not over $200 though), so a Fender Standard Stratocaster Electric Guitar for $500 or a Gibson ES-339 30/60 Neck Semi-Hollow Electric for $2,000 is out of the question.

So, any suggestions?
What about something like this?

Absolutely agree - Epiphone is the way to go! Try before you buy as they can vary so much model to model. And it doesn't have to be new either- sometimes people want to sell and put the money towards their upgrade!
This is a make or break moment. You are essentially deciding if you are a Fender person or a Gibson person. Now there are circumstances, in the right hands for the right music- that a Fender is indeed sublime. But not in the right hands/circumstance/etc it has great potential to be awful. A Gibson on the other hand is your friend. Really bad guitar tones rarely come out of Gibsons

Hi! This is the first time I’ve played guitar on a video for you — I’ve been teaching myself how to play. I really hope you like it! Love you to leave a comment and subscribe! Thanks!

I've been playing the guitar for about a year (self taught myself through online guitar tutorials). I'm about to take a guitar class next month. I'm going to be carrying the guitar up the bus and down the subway everyday. So two guitars were recommended for me but I can't decide! I want something that can survive the hectic public transportation I will go through. Which guitar do you recommend? Thanks and Merry Christmas!!
Taylor: http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Taylor-Baby-Taylor-Mahogany-Top-Dreadnought-Acoustic-Guitar?sku=514967
Martin: http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Martin-LX1-Little-Martin-Acoustic-Guitar?sku=514512

I vote the Martin… if you get the Taylor you linked, you'll look too big for the gutair (unless you're about 10), as it's only 3/4 the size of a normal gutair… which is only good if you want to look like a clown! Seriously though… the sound won't be very strong on a baby gutair.

Although the Martin is small, it doesn't look like it would be too small - just travelly and portable. Martins are supposed to last really well, too.
