The materials used to construct musical instruments are what drive the price. Wood is a big part of the cost of a guitar. Although guitars can be made from graphite or plastic, wood gives the sound you’re looking for even with cheap acoustic guitars. If you purchase a guitar that isn’t constructed from wood it won’t sound right to you and it may cause you to quit the guitar from sheer frustration. You are better off getting a cheap acoustic guitar crafted from wood than trying to save money with a plastic model that you will only disappoint you.

The next price range for cheap acoustic guitars is from $120-$150. A great selection in this category is the Epiphone DR-100. This guitar has a high quality spruce top with mahogany back and sides. This is a student instrument and you will have to upgrade at some point. If you don’t know how serious your interest in the guitar really is, then this is a good choice if you still want to obtain a decent quality guitar at a low price.
Even if you are looking for really cheap acoustic guitars you are better off to avoid those with a cost below $100. Practically speaking, in the $100 price range there are no bargains. Many such guitars will be very disappointing. The cheap acoustic guitars under $100 are usually of such poor quality that may lead many inexperienced players to give up on learning to play guitar. This is particularly sad for young people, which are maybe at their first encounter with music and willing to play. So, stay away from those guitars under $100, since at that price you will not find stuff of even modest quality.
If you can’t pony up for a better quality acoustic guitar, try to buy one second hand instead. If you buy a used guitar, it will have already developed a full and rich tone that you will not find in a brand new one. Many stores have a special section for used cheap acoustic guitars and you can play each one until you find the one that suits your needs.
Even if you can only go with a cheap acoustic guitar, look for one with a top that is solid as opposed to one with a top made of plywood. The solid wood acoustic guitar will provide a rich and full tone. If it is in your budget, stick with ones that have solid wood on the backs and sides as well.
