Yeah, and unless your a "heart and soul" type player, you may have a hard time noticing the difference between a $500 and $1000 guitar. It's also very possible for a cheaper guitar to be superior to a guitar several times its price. I paid $250 for my nicest acoustic and have no desire buy a more expensive instrument (I've played guitar my whole life and have been playing acoustically exclusively for several years now).

Don't cheap out on strings either, they are half the sound. A $500 guitar with nice new strings beats the pants off a $2000 guitar with cheap, year old strings.
