In that price range, recommendations typically include guitars by Cordoba, Yamaha, Kenny Hill New World and Kremona. I might be forgetting one or two. I favor Cordoba and Kenny Hill New World for outstanding craftsmanship and sound per dollar. Kenny Hill (a major California independent builder whose own guitars cost thousands more) designed his New World guitars for manufacture in a China shop he closely monitors and supervises. He also had a hand in designing many Cordoba models. Both those brands have the advantage (as I see it) of using adjustable truss rods. I'm sure if you do some reading of old threads here, you'll learn plenty. Good luck!
