What is a good acoustic electric guitar under $300 dollars give or take?

Answers:

I've played, gigged, and taught on the side for 20+ years(I'm an engineer until 5pm), so here's my 2 cents-

Stay away from eBay and the internet. There are lots of good guitars out there, so I'm not going to recommend a particular brand(But if you can find a good used Seagull-I've got two- go for it!). Find someone who plays and go to the music store with him/her-get your partner to play some of your choices for you. If the guitar doesn't sound and feel right to you, it's not a good guitar no matter how much you may have paid. You don't want this to be your last guitar. The store should provide a "setup"- adjust the action and intonation, etc. Ask before you pay-if the sales geek wrinkles his nose and says something like "that'll be $50.00 extra" take your money elsewhere.
