Washburn acoustic. My wife's 102 year old great aunt passed away last weekend and for the funeral upcoming they want my wife and I to reprise our acoustic guitar and voice rendition of "children of the heavenly father" which means I need an acoustic guitar, preferably with electronics, preferably cheap.
I just traded my last acoustic less than two weeks ago so I was kind of in a pickle.
I tried a bunch and ended up with this:
Built in tuner and better than serviceable electronics:
Sounds pretty good for an inexpensive acoustic, it looks VERY bright red in these pictures, it's not quite that red in person.
Only real downside is the uppermost 6 frets are kinda sharp and I'll need to get them filed down.
Got a little gig bag for it and it sounds pretty amazing for a guitar that was about $160.
Here's a short demo of the guitar tuned to D into my Strymon Big Sky:
