Peter,

As far as non-wood - I have played a Rainsong, and it played well and sounded good - not sure if I would buy one. You can't beat a Gibson. Takamine has some great playing guitars for a little less money. I have a Sea Gull with a cedar top that I play quite a bit - just a personal taste - I really like the sound of cedar. I am going to attempt to build a Martin kit this winter - we'll see how that goes.

Good luck in your search.
