I hope I don't start a holy war here, but now that the weather's nice, I'd like to find a guitar that I can take outside or to the beach or whatever to play and not worry about. Of course that means that Guilds are out!. I played a used Washburn (what they called a DWS10DN) at the GC yesterday that I think is a D10. I liked the way it played really, and the manager was keen to get rid of it to the point of cutting the price in half to $100. It had some issues like buzzing on the open D and G string which suggested loose bracing under the top to me, so I think I'll pass.
I don't want to spend more than $200, or else I'll be nervous taking it outside which would of course defeat the purpose. Years ago I had a cheap Contessa dread that I liked, but you don't really see them around anymore. I'm sure Yamaha, Ibanez, and perhaps others probably make something worth considering, but which ones?
