Best acoustic guitars under €2500 in 2026 A great acoustic doesn't have to be an expensive acoustic. Last year we did this same video with a €2000 budget, and this year we raised it to €2500. Maico and Thijmen walked through our acoustic villa and each picked two guitars: one from the more affordable end, one closer to the top of the budget. Four guitars, four very different characters. Watch the video and see the guitars here! Our favorite picks Blueridge BR140 Maico's first pick, and the most affordable guitar of the four. A solid spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides, built in the prewar tradition Blueridge is known for. What surprised us most was the volume and the low end for a guitar in this price range. See the Blueridge BR140 here Taylor 414ce Studio Natural Thijmen's first pick. Indian rosewood back and sides, a Grand Auditorium body with a cutaway, and the playability Taylor is famous for. The strap button and the pickup system are all there, so this one is ready for the stage the moment you unpack it.

A compact 00-sized, 14-fret guitar with an all-mahogany body. Thijmen picked it as his second guitar, and afterwards Maico admitted it was his favourite of all four.

Gibson is celebrating 100 years of flat top guitars in 2026 with the Century series, and this L-00 is part of it. It is light as a feather, and the 12-fret design gives it a rounder character than the 14-fret models standing next to it.

The Furch Vintage 1 dreadnoughts, the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Hummingbird, the Eastman E25SS and E10 and the Martin 000-15M Streetmaster were all in our hands during filming, and all of them stayed within budget.
