Bristol and Blueridge Acoustic Guitars from $236 (BR-40 at $416)
$416.00
$645.00
Amazon has several Blueridge acoustic guitars at very attractive prices. All Blueridge guitars come with a REALLY nice thick, padded gig bag (like Taylor or PRS) or, for the more expensive models, a hard shell case.
My own experience says that these are the best things going at these price points. My own BR-43 was the first guitar I owned that simply said "It's a keeper!" I've tried the $900 Martin 000 models and prefer my Blueridge.
All Blueridge guitars are made in China to my knowledge. They're still darned fine instruments.

I have a BR-43, and it was the first acoustic I fell in love with out of the box. I've tried intermediate Martins (at the $900 or so price point; made in Mexico), and I didn't find them any better. I think my BR-43 "sings" a lot better than the Yamaha FS800/820/830. The Yamaha is a fine instrument with similar specs and also made in China. The Blueridge costs slightly more.
I'm skeptical of any review that says "as good as a Martin at 1/3 the price" because Martin has a well-deserved reputation. Nonetheless, I really like my BR-43, which is a copy of a WW II era Martin 000 design.
Saga (Blueridge's importer) has a decently impressive list of artist endorsements. https://www.sagamusic.c
