Even if the guitar body was made of cardboard that's still a really good price considering, you also get a book, strap and gig bag!
Probably the combination of CNC machines and under paid Chinese labours working in unsafe conditions. These imports are then allowed into our market to compete against, more expensive items made by much fairer employers who spend money on their staff and their staffs working conditions. Talk about shooting ourselves in the foot! The more cheap goods we buy the harder it is for our manufactures to compete so, the less they pay us therefore, we ending up having less to spend so buy more cheap goods!
Conscience can be such a spoiler. But it's still hard to resist.

Out of stock according to the web page! I might be tempted - I could do with an acoustic for emergencies (i.e. power cuts) ;-)

Good point, but the battle was lost years ago. I used to boycot products that were made in countries with poor HR records but it soon became impossible as everything is made in China now!

That looks like a classical guitar. The tesco one I think is steel stringed.

Try Amazon then.
They've got a Yamaha F310 with all the bits (strap, tuner, spare strings, gig bag and etc) for £74.
Which means you're paying about £50 for the guitar.
There is absolutely no shortage of guitars of perfectly reasonable quality on sale on the net in the UK for next to nothing.

It depends. If you were in the market for an acoustic guitar, you almost certainly wouldn't buy one at tescos. However, if you just walked in and saw it, noone here would be losing out as you wouldn't have got one otherwise.
