Check in the emporium here, then look at your local music stores and pawn shops and Craigslist, then finally Ebay. If you find something that looks like it might be a quality guitar that interests you (especially locally and at a good price) use Google to do some research. I recently bought a Spanish classical that lists for about 2 grand for $300. For some reason there seem to me to be lots of inexpensive but nice classicals out there. I think one reason is there are a lot of reasonable quality makers with obscure names and not many people keeping track of them. I also think there are fewer people out there with the discipline to take up that style. You should be able to find a fairly nice solid top Japanese classical for well under $200 with minimal difficulty, and if you take your time you should do even better. It becomes a lot harder when you're after a "concert level" instrument.

Exactly. Not hard to find something decent...Yamaha, Takamine, etc. Figure on spending some bucks on a setup, if you're not a do it yourself-er. Seems almost every guitar has a too-high saddle.
