Best Bang for Buck Acoustic Guitar Under 1500$?

Careful, Taylor and Martin have factory's in Mexico, Guild is owned by Fender now and some are built in Korea, the Guild Factory at Westerly RI was shut down and the Guild name was built in Tacoma WA. along with the Tacoma brand for awhile,but in Fenders infinite wisdom they shut the doors on that plant also and discontinued the Tacoma brand and now build all of there US made guitars at the new state of the art Chinese style mega factory in Corona CA. and that would include the high dollar Guild's, Gibson is Gibson, they just refuse to put there name on anything that wasn't built in the US, either Memphis or Nashville, except the Maestro but that's just an inside joke, Gibson's way of kicking Fender in the shins and sticking there tongue out at them, the Maestro is a joke and they know it. if you can narrow it down to just North America, then Seagul is a very good choice. actually manufactured and owned by LaSido/Godin, read.. http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/LaSiDo-Inc-company-History.html did I mention Corona CA. aint all that far from Mexico?

Pretty sure $1500 Martin's and Taylor's are not built in Mexico.
