The Epiphone DR100 is just a good looking guitar for a cheap price. If you raise your budget a little, Epiphone also makes the best acoustic guitar under 500.

Epiphone DR100 Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Rosewood Fingerboard
  • Multiple finish options
  • Mahogany body
  • Spruce top

Of all the acoustic guitars under $300, this one might be one of the best looking out there.

As a part of the Gibson guitar brand, Epiphone has found a special niche in creating great value guitars that are worthy of being a part of the Gibson family.  That means you are gonna get a great sounding guitar with a good feel that by far outweighs its price in performance.

The price, look and versatility of this guitar makes it a gem for the beginner guitarist or any guitarist that wants an affordable guitar that doesn’t have a cheap look or sound. And if you’re willing to spend more on a beginner guitar, consider the model we feature in our Taylor Academy 12E review.

PROS
  • To get a mahogany body like this for such a cheap price is a steal
  • The sound on this guitar is better than most acoustic guitar at this price range
  • They certainly did not cut corners on the finish despite begin such a low price guitar
CONS
  • The neck can be rough depending on which guitar you get, which will require some sanding or filing that can be taken care of at a local guitar shop for pretty cheap
  • It's a mass produced instrument, which is why it is cheap. With that said, sometimes there are inconsistencies
