                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[A bunch of good ones suggested so far<br><br>I'd check out high end Washburns, especially early 90's solid models.  Lightning fast neck and great tone.<br><br>New you should include Blueridge in your search.  I was throughly impressed with them at the store.<br><br>Just a bit outside your price range but well worth the extra savings is the Parker P8e.  I love mine.<br><br>Have you considered just buying yourself a Roland Mini-cube or a Crate Taxi?  That and an acoustic emulator that straps on your belt and you can take your electric with you anywhere.<br><br>Or in your price range, get the Mini-cube, a Schecter E1A and a Korg Toneworks Acoustic.  I do that sometimes.  The Schecter has a nice piezo built in and it plays well.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I really like Seagulls. They have introduced a thinner neck to their S series guitars. I also second the Breedlove recommendation. If you want an easy to fret guitar, don't forget the value of a good setup. Even expensive guitars often come with high strings since it is easier to lower the string height on an acoustic than it is to raise it.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[As Denny says, go to a shop and try <I>every last acoustic</I> that's in your budget. You'll know when you find it :wink:<br><br>I don't know if you can find a Stagg dealer where you are, but that's what I ended up with when I did the above, and my criteria where the same as yours. The advice above still holds, of course, but it might be worth your while to try and include the model I've got as we're so close in our proirities and I'm so happy with it :wink:<br><br>It's a fantastic neck, feels closer to an electric than an acoustic and it's got a gorgeous tone both plugged and unplugged. It's not as loud acoustically as others, but that doesn't bother me. I'll take tone over volume any day, especially when it's still a good tone when plugged in. It was Â£150 (so about $300), and it was a mile better than anything up to about twice the price, IMHO. Have a look at <a href="http://staggmusic.com">http://staggmusic.com</a> if you're interested, it's the A2006 (an Ovation knockoff with the funky soundholes), about halfway down the 5th page of electro-acoustic guitars category.<br><br>*edit* If you're happy to tune down 1/2 step, that can make a suprising amount of difference too...]]></content:encoded>

I bought it used, but many times guitars are over stocked and then stamped and sold as used with out being used.  It smelled like a brand new mobile home.<br><br>I've been drooling over a Seagull Acoustic I saw at a store recently.  You know, most guitars you pick up a nd hit a chord and hear it.  This one about knocked me out of the chair.  It didn't just go "D-major", it went "D-MAJOR!!!"  It more like sang than sounded.  Not kidding.  There a really good brand for the money.  They smell good, too (ok, it sounds weird, but I "smell" acoustic instruments). :lol:]]></content:encoded>
