Hey, another insomniac! Yes, we bought a cheap $100 Savon classical guitar a few years back. We were looking at it in a store and some hot classical player strongly suggested us going ahead and buying it. He said he was tempted himself. Anyway, it's a smaller body with a 1 and 3/4 inch neck, so I'm thinking it's meant to be a flamenco guitar. Built in Brazil, all laminate and built either in the late 60's or early 70's. It's in great shape, very nice fretboard and fret work, and doesn't sound bad at all. One we haven't regretted buying because it cost so little and is fun to play.

That's easy for me... a $350 Go Grande Mahogany Sam Radding made for me years ago. It's a mini guitar, so it will never compete with a full-bodied guitar. But it was lovely... 19 frets, a beautiful Rosewood fretboard, Honduran Mahogany B/S and Sitka top. It was intonated remarkably well considering its tiny size. Sweet little guitar. It's now living with a forum buddy who wanted it for a young granddaughter getting interested in music. So, it's still doing a great job of making somebody very happy.

The least expensive guitar that really caught me by surprise is the Eastman E2D Cedar/Sapele. And although I've not played one, the OM version (E2OM) must be similar.

A colleague of mine has a Squier acoustic guitar that I had previously setup and cut the nut too low. I finally got it back from him to correct the nut issue. The guitar sounds very very good. I'd record with it miced and not have any reservations whatsoever. Laminate top, laminate back and sides. Maybe a $79 guitar.

Eastman PCH 1 OM. $263 out the door and it plays just as good as a lot of high end guitars.

A friend handed this to me to play a song in a song circle. Blew me away: it was a 60's Guild dread, all mahogany. One of the best 10 I have ever played.

I really liked the Gretsch Jim Dandy. I did not buy it on the first pass. When I decided to buy one, the shops had sold them all.
A friend bought a classical guitar, from a thrift shop, for $10.00, a few years back. After a fresh set of strings, some cleaning, and a few drops of oil on the tuner machines, he had his perfect beach guitar. Last edited by k_russell; 02-08-2021 at 07:27 AM.
