because of the way that acoustic is generally used in hip hop /r&b--intermittently, generally, in single strums or flourishes--i imagine just about any nice, balanced-sounding acoustic would do...but what i generally hear in tracks from these genres sounds to my ears like either classical guitar (nylon string) or like a distinctive-sounding steel-string such as a takamine--can't really describe what's distinctive about them but they really do have a sound like no other, which some love and some don't.

a buddy who is an r&b producer uses a takamine, if that helps at all.
