you may want to try the musicians gear forum. You might get a better response there.

Blueridge. All solid woods, Martin tone. Expensive Martin tone too, not shitty composite material low-end Martin tone.

Art & Lutherie... handmade in Eastern Canada, i bought one not long ago expecting to get less quality because it didn't cost as much, turns out being my favorite over and above all the more expensive manufactured ones i owned, nice and light, easy to play with and most of all sounds the best...

I got an Alvarez AD60CK for 450. It's a beauty, thats for sure. Alvarez would have to be my highest recommendation for you.

Save another $500 and get a real good guitar?

Actually, I think the next bracket is like $700 right? So save 200 more and go for something there?

It's all preference. A $100 guitar might sound and play good enough.. it did for me, until I finally played Alvarez. PD85SCAV - $600. I played a $300 Alvarez which was an outstanding guitar also. Takamine G-series is ok. I have an EG-334SC, used very little. The neck is too thin for my lanky fingers. Go out and play it, if you like it I'll make you a deal.

Play any guitar you can get your hands on.
