I continue to be amazed at how decent an acoustic guitar you can get for less than 200 bucks these days.

We have one of the "plastic Martins" with the laminated back and sides.

It was a Wednesday morning guitar - everything just came together perfectly. It will NOT hold tune because the laminate is very susceptible to changes in temp and humidity, but it sounds great - you just have to let it equilibrate for an hour before you try to play it, if you bring it into a warm room or carry it in a hot car.

Those $199 specials at Musician's Friend or Guitar Center DO sound remarkably well for something so cheap. Action's always too high though.
