I've played a couple of brands of graphite guitars, the Rainsong and those made by CA Guitar. I like 'em and it's oke with me if they're not wood, or only partially wood. They're just different.

CA Guitars are cheaper than Rainsong. http://www.caguitars.com/ They've just come out with a ooo-sized guitar that I'd like to play.

Rainsong has a graphite/wood combo parlor guitar out that is reasonably priced compared to their all-graphite guitars. The tops are graphtie combined with different side & back woods: maple, rosewood, or mahogany. You can see one here at Elderly Instruments:
