you wanna be lookin at the economy section and by god ACOUSTIC. so many beginners wanna play electric but that can handicap alot of players as they improve

Shall I recomend an Alvarez RD8? Its a great buy! It has good quality for its price, and it comes with a hardshell case! These range from $200-230.

Out of your price range. They have cheap ones, but a cheap Martin is not a good guitar, theres much better guitars then Martin in your price range.

I have the RD8. I love it. It sounds amazing and got it new for 200 after tax and some strings/strap/and some other small things. I really suggest you take a look at one cause I do not regret getting one at all.
