I know I'm not going to be getting a fantastic guitar or anything, but for the price point is the quality at least decent? Is there something else in the $200 area that would be a more quality purchase? I haven't found many reviews for the guitar anywhere and before I jump I'd like to get some input on it.

Thanks for any help

It's not necessarily the brand of the guitar, it's the playability of it. If it feels right for you that what counts. Invest a little in a decent set of pick-ups and you should have a nice guitar. I have high end guitars, however, these low end models are very surprising in there playability.
