[Psalm 73]

You can get one for around $200, but you'll end up tuning it every ten minutes.
You can get a decent quality acoustic for about 500 or so. Good luck - and have fun!

You can get one for around $200, but you'll end up tuning it every ten minutes.

True for new acoustics (made in China crap), but if you shop around and buy used you can get a decent guitar for $200 or $250. I recently played a '96 Fender (50th anniversary edition, I forgot the model) for around that price that held its intonation perfectly and had a whole lot of crossgrain and had a surprisingly warm, complex tone.
