A Pacifica would work, if they had wider nuts.
Vintage v400mh mahogany topped dreadnought acoustic FS - £100
Totally with you re the Pacifica Si, if they came with a 1 11/16 nut I'd be gigging them. Were I gigging currently of course...
I used to own a Vintage LP style. The thing was it played beautifully but for whatever reason I kept breaking machine heads on it somehow. I had luthiers replace them and I replaced a couple of sets myself too. The problem might have been to do with the scale length or something but they kept "slipping" and no amount of set ups and restringing or change of heads seemed to be able to solve the issue so unfortunately I had to stop gigging it due to the tuning stability and moved it along. Sad because it was a great looking guitar.
I rely solely on Squiers and Epiphones
I've gigged a £120 squier affinity telecaster.
Actually, it was pretty damn good! It looked like a Tele, the tuners were functional if a bit crap, it sounded like a Tele and it was slimmer than normal, great first guitar I reckon. If only I knew.
Even the pickups sounded good. Unrefined, a bit thin and lacking body, but broadly speaking they sounded like tele pickups. The neck was lovely, too, nice satin maple.
More expensive guitars are nice, but not necessary.
For an acoustic, I've gigged with an Eko Ranger with a soundhole pickup too. Nothing wrong with it.

I saw Saxon ( I'm so cool...) and Graham Oliver played either his white SG or his V throughout. For the encore he played a blue SG copy. Odd, I thought. Then he proceeded to smash it up at the end of the song.
I thought both 'well, I could have had that' and 'not smashing up one of your good guitars takes the credibility from this, as an act of passion,out of what you are doing.'
Oddly enough he's another Vintage user these days. Don't know if he smashes them up or not.
