I have one that is hand-built here in Sweden and it costed me about 650$. I know its alot more than what people want to spend but then you get a guitar that ,if you take care of it, sounds fantastic for at least 50-70 years
So to me, it was worth the extra cash, because it sounds
perfect; crystal clear, sharp but still soft sound, its got it all. Im sure they dont have swedish-built guitars, but check out some levin guitars.
One more advice:
Spend!
If you want a good guitar, do not compare the pricetags, compare the quality.
Because if you buy a bad acoustic, its very hard to alter it. If you buy a bad electric, you can get pretty good sound anyway by using different effects, amps and so on.
This is impossible with an acoustic.
If you've bought a bad sound, you're stuck with it.
So dont be afraid to spend some money if you're serious with your guitar-playing.
good luck!
