    I picked up a secondhand Cort acoustic for a friend as their 1st guitar, which was ridiculously cheap.  Looked basic, but  it played and sounded very good indeed.

    About 8 years ago I was looking for a cheap £150-ish guitar just to keep at work to mess about on. After trying a few I stumbled upon an Aria dreadnought for about £130 which played and sounded excellent for an all laminate construction.

    Aria also do smaller bodied guitars like parlour and folk size for around the £100 mark, might be worth your while checking them out. I still have the said guitar, although well and truly battered now, it still plays perfectly and gets played and knocked about every day, probably the best 130 quid I've spent.

    Thanks all for your input. 

    I actually have a real hankering for a parlour sized guitar and am chasing down an eBay lead at present....fingers crossed!

    I can wholly recommend an Ashton if you can find one - mine is very good for the money!

    I'm following this thread with interest. I'm in the market for a non-dreadnought size guitar too. Are Vintage well made? What about Yamaha?
    The Vintage acoustics are nice. Well made too. The V300mh is REALLY nice as are the Brett and Giltrap signature models, but those are more expensive. 

    I've never been a fan of Yamaha acoustics (well not the lower end ones anyway). I don't think they sound great acoustically & the finish is thick & plasticy (which might dampen the  Acoustic response I  guess)- they're usuall good on stage though.
