| I have a mid level Rodriguez that plays very nicely. As far as I know, Fender subsidized them awhile back, and they have some nice ones right in the $400-500 range. An Alvarez or Aria is a good choice as well. Only buy one with a pickup system if you know you will use, otherwise it is very much worth it to spend that money on one with better projection. Same with the cutaways. There's no reason to make a toss up when there's no reason not to punch a clown |
