I've located many very affordable guitars (Roosebeck and Thomann)
I have one of the Mid-East Roosebeck baroque guitars, as I reported here
a while back:

I think all these guitars are from the same source in Pakistan. It is
quite nicely made, with the idiosyncrasies Joachim mentions. The
strings supplied are way too heavy and generally horrible. I replaced
them with a set of LaBella baroque guitar strings (BGMT#1) and shimmed
up the nut a bit, and it works quite well, though, as Joachim says, it's
quite quiet. It is serving me well as an instrument to learn on, and I
recommend it.
I see Mid-East has a clearance on blemished red electric ouds, just what
we all need!
