Good acoustic for under $400?

[3 cent hero]

What would a quality acoustic be under $400 US? It's got to be a dreadnought, BTW. I love the Taylor 510, but not not nearly enough money for it :yell:

Check out Aria's line of acoustic's. They look like Martins, and sound just as good.

I'm eventually going to get an Alvarez AJ-60SC... simply one of the best jumbo acoustics I've ever played, even after playing custom shop Taylors and Martins. They can be found used for around $400 and are definitely worth it.

Used US-made Ovation Balladeer or Legend. I just sold mine for a round $300 and it's in excellent shape. The plastic back is unbreakable and the 2 or 5-piece reinforced neck is unwarpable. That bridge is a string-thru (no stupid pins), just like an electric. That and they come stock with excellent Schaller tuners. Mine was the "deep bowl" kind, which is the full-size one. Unplugged, it's just as loud as the graphite-acoustics (read: louder than wood).

I just got one with the bag at GC for $350. Solid top, made in California, sounds better than most anything within $700 of it's price.

I'm just wondering, even though I've never played one...What is the deal with Martin guitars???
