Lots of good advice out there.
I have have found a one year model from Takamine.
Produced in 1990 the LTD 90 is a Koa wood steel with exceptional sound and action. It is even all across the strings with mellow sound. It sold new in 90 for about $650. I have been offered alot more for one of mine. The guitar is clone of the Taylor cutaway with virtually the same characteristics.
I have recently seen a couple in music store for around 500 and others at 2500.
At the low end its a steal of a steel.
