Model: Yamaha FG403S

Price: $199 (Guitar Center)

Review: I played 6 or 7 different acoustic guitars the day I bought this one ranging in prices of $200-$1500, and I was shocked at how this guitar held its own against the more expensive guitars. This is a very solid guitar for the price. Yamaha seems tohave a knack for making very inexpensive high-quality guitars, and this is no exception. The neck is maybe slightly wider then my usual preference, but other than that I have no complaints about it. I take it on the road w/me every week when I travel and it has held up great.

Rating (On a Scale of 1-10): 10

Additional Comments/Final Verdict: For the price, you won't find a better guitar. Seems that way for most Yamahas.
