I've seen the Ovation Celebrity, the Epiphone Performer, and the Wetcher Pathmaker Deluxe, but I don't know if these are good models or not.
I'm also curious to know a good acoustic amp that might work as well.
Good Acoustic-Electric for $500 or less?
I was looking around for a good acoustic-electric guitar (falling around the price of $500, though less always works too) and was wondering if people knew some good models.

I have the ovation celebrity deluxe,and it's pretty nice. It's the only electric model I have. I don't know about amps.
If you have the electric acoustic,you can just plug into about any amp. Then adjust your equalizer to get the sound you want.
You have the option of playing over a mic with the guitar shut off also.. :cool:

Hey,
Here's what you do:) Buy a Yamaha FG700S... They are about 200 bucks and you can find some that sound great. Then spend $50 on a set up with some heavy strings (13's) and medium action (too low action feels great, but kills the tone)
Then you buy a L.R. Baggs M1 soundhole pick up ($170). They sound awesome and you can install it your self. Or you can have the guy that does the setup install it.
Total price: $420 for a good acoustic guitar that sounds good unplugged and plugged in.
This will sound pretty good through a P.A., and you can add a reverb pedal if you want something extra!
If you play with a loud band, you may get some feedback problems, but they can be fixed!
As far as acoustic amps go, I play a Phil Jones Acoustic Amp, and I love it. It's about $500 and sounds great. It's small, weighs good as nothing, runs on international power and looks cool. The Fishman Loudbox is great too, but it's a little more expensive.
Hope this helped you!
