Used to use Takamines in the late 90/early 2000s. The ones I had were good and the best acoustic with a pickup but they have been overtaken by other companies. They are all made in the Japan but some of there ranges are just a bit ok these days. In the UK I don't think the high end stuff is imported. Personally I go for Taylor when i need a an acoustic. Even there lower end stuff is so well done. Having said that even cheaper guitars are pretty decent these days!

And you can speed-up the process by resting your guitar near the speaker of your stereo. Each time you'll listen to music on your stereo the guitar will age/ripe like a good wine...

Cheap guitars can be good, though I'm not sure about really cheap acoustics. I bought a single-pickup fake Fender from Target several years ago for $99 (including tiny practice amp) and it still stays in tune, which is usually the tricky part on cheap guitars. It helps, though, that it has screws as well as glue holding it together. Acoustics tend to be all glue and that's where cheap ones fail after a few years.
