Possible slogan (?):
Not a pretty name, but it is the truth - my "Value" model

I'd call it The Harmony. Not only is it a nice sounding name, but it pays homage to a line of guitars that, historically speaking, epitomized the concept of a "budget" or "economy" guitar.

The Fundamental Series -- It has everything a guitar needs to sound fantastic. The rest is icing on the cake.



The Tonewise Series -- Wise people choose the beautiful tone of the guitar over the aesthetics.

Just two to play around with!

A lot of other brands make a 'studio' model/s that are generally stripped down version of the more expensive instrument making them more affordable or basically players models..

To spice up the name a bit, the french word for 'studio' is Atelier. Pronounced, A-tell-E-A

The Atelier model.

edit: one little caveat, is that ateliers are studios, in the same meaning as schools, or places of learning.. Slightly different take on the idea, but I love the sound of 'Atelier'

That's a good idea. A lot of companies try to address multiple market segments with "good," "better," and "best" models.

Larrivee has "recording," "artist," and "deluxe" for example.

You could segment your existing models, and create Bronze, Silver, and Gold lines. Or just a Player and Pro series.

Maybe this is too cutesy, but "Bullseye" ??

That was Woody's horse in Woody's Roundup from "Toy Story 2".

I like bullseye as double-entendre since it implies that you've hit the sweet spot in the market, etc...

Just a thought.

I don't think make it too cutesy like a name... just make it a model that is a different letter away from your regular model. I think drawing attention to anything that sounds or implies economy just isn't good marketing.

Klepper -
I knew all three of those! I need to get my Pernambuco started! I want the Ferrari for the price of a Camry. I guess that is the performance.
