Here's a good link to get you looking in the $300 - $500 range. I think you can get a decent guitar for that money: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/acoustic-...p;catId=site1AC The takamine's and ibanez's look good, but the epiphone texan '64 could be OK. There are 11 pages of acoustic electric guitars in the $300-$500 range at this site.
