I have an FG411S, which I guess is not a million miles away from the 403. Holds its tuning well. Nice sound. If only I could find the time to play it!

I acquired my beloved Ovation Standard Balladeer (woefully underused as of late) from a local place, that luckily had a good slection of used instruments. I don't know about the possibility of finding one for under $100, but it couldn't hurt to look, or call and ask around. I received a good deal on mine - hardshell case included, and 1-year warranty, so there's no worry about buying sight unseen a la Ebay. Good luck in your quest! ...and now, back to lurking...
