Mine's an A-Yari Dreadnaught Martin knockoff. It's got a solid top and laminated sides and back. I'm' primarily a songwriter. I've got it set up with a Fishman/volume pot which works real well when amplification is needed. Use a soundhole insert by Kyser and I'm good to go. Found it at a local music store for $450.00 w/hs case. Strummed one chord and said 'Sold' as it has a very balanced sound for a dreadnaught.
