Any decent solid top,folk size, cutaway, with pickup under 500?

[johnkline]

I'm looking for a backup acoustic guitar, would like to have solid top, folk size and a cutaway, or dread size I suppose, with a preamp/pickup installed. Nothing fancy, just something to beat around and not worry about...and not too pricey...

 

How about Alvarez AD60SC Artist series, Full dreadnought with 600tmkII electronics

or Alvarez RF20SC Regent series, Folk sizew with system 200t

 

both have solid tops...

 

any other ideas??

Epiphone

Seagull, Yamaha, Ibanez and Washburn come to mind.

The Epiphone Masterbilt EF-500RCCE fits the bill perfectly... except for the $500 part. You might be able to find one used if you look hard/long enough. Otherwise I think Seagull and Washburn would be your best bets.

Walden makes em too. Considerably under $500 in some cases.

Walden or Aria will fit your budget and you will end up with a really nice guitar.
