Amazon has the Takamine S35 Jasmine Acoustic Guitar (Natural) for $79 with free shipping. Features a spruce top, laminated nato back and sides, rosewood fretboard, chrome tuning machines, and a satin finish.
I own a ukulele that is made primarily of Nato and am very happy with it. I wouldn't suggest this guitar though, unless you are just looking for something cheap so you can try out playing. If you want something that is good enough for performances, etc, you're going to need to spend more. Make sure to note: This is not a takamine guitar. This is a Jasmine guitar, a vastly inferior sub-line made by takamine.
This is still baconcheap. Having said that, if you really want to play guitar, spend a little money on a decent guitar. A decent, well-set-up acoustic is MUCH easier to play than a poorly set-up one with crappy tuners.
Nato back, its made out of spoiled almost rotten sticky soybeans?.. WTF..
