Who makes the best budget acoustic guitars?

[futurefields]

Looking for something $200- $300 to be my toss it in the backseat guitar. So it needs to sound decent but also be durable and up to the task. Of guitars ive played in the range i like Yamaha's and Ibanez the best, with bonus points to Ibanez seems they offer some features like neck+body binding at a lower price point than others.

To answer the title question directly: the correct response is Yamaha.

I would look into the Recording King guitars they are sleepers you need to try one. I have an ROS-06

 

[knotts]

Yamaha. Best quality in both materials and workmanship at that price.

Me too. Amazing, ain't it?

+1 Yamaha. If you can bump up your budget by around $100 or so, you'd be in range for Seagull as well.

At your price range, with an acoustic, I'd strongly recommend a used guitar. $300 will get you an exponentially nicer used acoustic than a new acoustic.

Yammer-hammer. Yamaha is the best bang for the buck.

You can't go wrong with Ibanez, Yamaha or Alvarez in this price range.

I have a Alvarez AP66 Parlor and really dig it.. 12 frets all Mahogany. Got it for around $200 bucks.

Blueridge. No matter the price always a solid top and bone nut.

Epiphone Masterbuilt

I like this name but may be a little tough to find one at that price point. Yamaha FG series is a good bet but if you can find a Master built for under 300 go with that.
