Fender acoustics used to be crap, but I was quite impressed by a parlor-size, solid-top, student model I tried out last year. Price about $290 Cdn. Here's the thread I started then.

Some Harmonys sound better than others--personally I don't think I've ever tried one that actually felt good to play. The reason I was shopping in the above-referenced thread was to replace a not-very-nice Harmony I had gotten for my daughter to learn on. The brand of course has had a lot of changes of manufacturing locale.
