Well I love Faith guitars (last year I bought five of them!). Faith did something weird last year, the skipped all their Series One and I bought them off e-bay at ridiculous prices) but try a Faith Jupiter (which is a jumbo, solid engelman spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides) the electro is the Jupiter eclipse Jumbo.

The eclipse ones are not solid wood apart from the top.

I think they're just beautiful - even if you have to pay full whack, they are well within your price range.

I really can't think of a guitar I would swap them for.

Yamaha have a LD range coming out in January, which looks as though its going to be something special, but the solid wood ones are two grand.
