I bought a BlueRidge BR-40 cash for $500.00
Love it.
But there are so many out there that you will just have to try try and try until you feel or know that this is the one. I am beginning to beleive that when it comes to guitars we all have our own listening devise in our heads that say, "this is the sound I want". What I like may not be what you like. So never mind the name of the builder. Go for the sound that you like.
