I agree. I started out collecting the old Kays and Harmonys but sold almost all of them. Got into 70's Japan acoustics like Yamahas and Yamakis. Still have some Yamahas which for laminates, sound better than the new solid top models they have in the FG line. I really like the Alvarez guitars as they have a great tone, easy to play, and are very affordable. I've also tried Crafters which sound pretty decent for little $. For a little more $, you can but a used Taylor 110, a Martin DX, or an Epi Masterbilt 2nd which are easy to play and have a nice sound.
