@ TS, yung YAMAHA F310 at Fender lang yung mejo decent para saakin sa choices mo. pero sa budget mo, you'll get a better guitar kung magttry ka sa phoebus.
basing from experience naman to sir, I've owned a Yamaha, a Fender, a Takamine. And I've also tested an Epiphone and a washburn. the alvarez, never pa.
I can honestly say, maganda yung PG30 na sinasabi ni sir robertshanepascual. ako mismo, naka Takamine EG340C na, pero gusto ko parin bumili ng PG30 or PG50 kasi iba yung body nung sound niya. mas buo compared to my takamine.
best to try the phoebus sa Guitar Pusher bro. they are very nice and accommodating naman.
