anyone have anything in mind? I'm looking for a good steel-string, preferrably electro-acoustic.

Crafter (they now sell in the USA) Best value for the dollar.

As popthree said, art and lutherie, but i was gonna say seagull. Same company. Check out a Seagull S6. Can't go wrong for the price!!!!

you can probably find a used seagull with electronics for 300 or less, but if you want new, i don't think you'll touch one for that. you can though, get a new art & lutherie with electronics for about 300.

Ibanez AEF-18...comes in three different finishes.

About $325.00 new...very good guitar for not a lot of money...has a decent pickup in it too.

Look @ Washburns in that price range. Excellent sounding gits for the $'s.

Look at this Yamaha.

Solid Spruce Top
The tuners are nice Grover knock offs
Rosewood Fretboard
Tortus pickguard
Straight braced - nice Dread

I bought one of these as a campfire beater, these are great guitars.
They sell for $200 everywhwere. I bought mine at Guitar Center and I bought a really nice Ritter bag on ebay for $45.

A student of mine ordered one of these from Elderly and both of our FG's look as nice as the one in these pictures.

Seagulls and A&L guitars are best bets but you'll be hard pressed to buy a Seagull S6 and any case for $300.

Chicago Music Exchange used to sell new Cedar topped S6's for $280 with no case.

The Yamaha is a really nice sounding guitar. I have 5 Martins and 1 Larrivee and I truely enjoy the Yamaha for knocking around.
