Yamaha is some kind of a sure bet.
I've got a cheap mixer (MG06X) that I use professionally for live shows when there's just a singer, backing tracks and little more else. It always deliver exceptionally well, while being small and simple.
I also own a classical guitar NCX3, all solid, and I absolutely love it.
But I bought for dirt cheap a used acoustic FG800 (yeah, I think it's the most sold acoustic guitar of all times), and compared to my high end Larrivee it keeps its ground. Of course, I prefer the Larrivee, but the differences are mostly in nuances that could perfectly vary with tastes. To be honest, I upgraded the nut and saddle for bone ones, and made a detailed adjustment for my liking. I also installed a pickup (similar to a K&K) so it gets superbly effective for plugged gigs... I can use it for big gigs knowing it will deliver just the same as a high end acoustic.
It's quite hard not to love Yamaha's consistency.
Then it's Line6. Another Yamaha selling point. It's not easy to find a weak point in that company.
