Actually why not check out Bentley 's Garisson model of AG 200. The Star review it as one of the better models . It;s not a solid top but it's not plywood either ..the top have a cabon fiber bracing so therefore it's vibrates better.

Retails for around RM 780,. I owned one and everyone who listens to it swears that it sounded like a solid top and have a very balanced tone.

Excellent quality . check out its main website and go to bentley to try it out,.

A AG200 CE ...cutaway and electronics just cost another 420 - 1200

Have you tried the Farida acoustics? Sold by Guitar Store. Decent build quality, good tones and playability. Been getting some good reviews by the mags - check out latest issue of Guitarist.

How about the seagulls, i'm also looking for a guitar around the same price range. After reading reviews I thought that the yamahas for a safe bet, because their build quality was there? Everyone seems to say getting a good yamaha is better than getting a low-end taylor, until I came to this thread.

How do the seagulls sound? I heard they were superb,

Checked them out already, not my taste too. If you didn't notice, the workmanship ain't that good. I saw some clumsy glue spillings inside the guitar through the sound hole. The joints were not that accurate too.
