Just about any of the under $200 guitars at www.rondomusic.net are great value. There are hundreds of models. I have a bass guitar and a classical guitar that shipped to my house each for well under $200. On the bass, the fretwork and electronics shielding were much better than on my MIM Strat. On the classical, the pickup system that came installed retailed for more than I paid for the guitar, when the system was commercially available (Shadow P7 system).

I was in a Detroit area video and sound post-production facility - one of the nicest ones in the whole city, and there were guitars in each studio that were from Rondo and they do use them to record and let the local talent bang on them when they are in the studio.
