My immediate acoustic guitar 'upgrade' years ago was an Ibanez PF. Back then I didn't know nuts about acoustic guitars & thought the Ibanez name on the headstock would prove some potency in terms of quality & tone. More importantly, the guitar wasn't costly & proved to be a very comfortable player neck-wise. Ibanez still makes the PF range to be affordable instruments & today it comes in this cool blue finish (seen above: PF18) for daring players who believe in being seen. Definitely a no-frills instrument in terms of features, something worthy in the $250 price bracket.
