Yamaha makes some nice acoustics, but stick to the solid tops. I bought mine (FG-412S) for $350 CAD, i think, which translates to about $225 Yankee bucks. The "S" at the end of the model name tells you that it's a solid top.

Also, try Simon & Patrick, I've heard many people raving about them, they're supposed to be great value for the money, and they're all solid-tops. Apparently (according to their ads) the guitars sound better the more you play (something to do with vibrations affecting the solid top).

Hey, is your nickname a play on "Sailor Moon"?
