I like the Masterbuilts, followed by the Yammy acoustics. I still think Yamaha makes the some of the best instruments in any price range. The QC is very meticulous with that company.

How coincidental - my colleague bought that model for his son. He brought it to work and asked me to look at it. I really liked it and was surprised how much he paid for it. The action was perfect and the tone was beautiful. I suspect there may be variance a bit but that's why I will never buy without playing first. I highly recommend that guitar Strum. In fact I am considering an FG acoustic myself to leave in the studio. Prolly the 730 cuz I like rosewood back and sides.

Check out popular consenus on UG reviews and Harm-Central reviews.

9.5-10 on the 730S
9-10 on the 700S

Other external reviews will concur.

This is my front runner right now. It says mahogany sides and back, but it's Rosewood (that's what the "R" stands for)

Strummy,
$200 for a solid top dread seems a good deal. I've played a bunch of different acoustic Epi's. I like the masterbuilts a lot. The lower priced Epi's, were ok, nothing special. I think they were mostly all lam guitars. Don't remember the model #'s. I do remember paying a Epi version of the Lennon Gibson. The neck seemed a bit "clubby", but I have very small hands and Gibsons often feel that way to me. Action was also high, so that could have been a factor.

Here is another option if you can go over the $200 barrier a bit.

Keel, what do you know about these? Own one? Know someone that does? Hear good things?

Don't really want to plug in, looking dread or smaller jumbo, don't like burst. I think it's a good deal, but maybe settling, rather than getting something I want.

Don't really want to plug in - Don't plug it in then... you're just too cheap to buy a 9v battery for it!

looking dread or smaller jumbo - Smaller jumbo? Oxymoron... just because you spell Jumbo with a small "j" doesn't actually make it smaller.

don't like burst - Earl Scheib?

All kidding bud!

Damn, I completely forgot about the 9v.

I thought that's what the j versus J meant.

I didn't know Earl was still in business. I think when I was a kid they would do a car for $29.99
