get thee to a secondhand shop and hunt down a used Ibanez Vintage series . . . or a very old Yamaha . . .these were made good for two separate reasons . . . the Ibanez was first grade wood with visual flaws so they stained them dark brown to disguise them, and the Yamahas were made so well when they started because they were copying Martins, Gibsons, etc . . . and wanted to compete for sound . . . by now they should be still good albeit scratched to hell . . . all the better for someone not to steal them!
