By most player's standards, the 'best' in your budget price range will be okay for starter and intermediate, but only a few models to choose from when it comes to solid top acoustic/electrics.



At that price range.



For good (enough) quality, playing comfort and performance (tuning, resonance, tone and expression) here is THE list: Art & Lutherie; Alvarez; Cort; Dean; Epiphone; Ibanez; Jasmine (Takamine); Johnson; Lag ($$); Micheal Kelly; Norman; Seagull; Walden; Washburn and Yamaha.



You certainly have to go try them out first hand to discover what you will get, and come to realize the differences in each models features and comparing how they feel and sound. You will then understand why the price ranges are set according to their quality, and expressions, of what you expect from any guitar in question.



But expect to pay from $125 - $500 (really) for your first guitar, especially one that includes a solid top (which would start around $200.00) as its main feature.



Look for a basic dreadnought of your choice without the electronics, and determine if you really need an acoustic/electric. Then just then ask about the same model's version that has the electronics installed in that series, model line. A blend of what you are really after.



This way you wil be getting a model of that particular brand that will do just as well for you when not having to depend upon amplification to play well as your main guitar.



And, be satisfied with in what you will have as a versatile instrument for many years to come.

I don't know that there are any "professionals or cons" to any of those instruments. I've been a guitar participant for forty years, and that i possess certainly one of each form of guitar. Every guitar has an additional sound and cause, and they're used accordingly. I regularly use one in all my electrics for performing or recording. The sign is strong and hot, and can provide me a broad kind of sounds. I exploit my acoustic more for matters like outside campfires and such. It has an awfully wealthy, normal sound. I exploit the acoustic-electric on stage, to give that wealthy, typical sound with a better sign.

For that price, you'll need to give up either the solid top or the electronics. I suggest checking out the Yamaha FG-700S. It is a very popular solid-top acoustic that offers a lot of bang for the buck and comes from a reputable maker of beginner guitars. US street price is about $200 but they tend to run higher overseas.
