Honestly I can warmly recommend the Thomann house brand, Harley Benton. The dirt cheap, entry level ones are on par with beginner models from known bands, and if you splurge a little more and get one of their nice ones, you’ll have a really fine instrument for the price of the beginner model in the known brands.
They’re German and the reason it’s so cheap is they have 0 layers in the pipeline, they “manufacture” and sell directly. Most of their own brands punch well above their weight, but you should still look at the reviews etc for your specific item of choice.
Yeah for sure, and some of it is just curated OEM stuff they slap their logo on, but still the point stands. If you want manufactured in EU prices aren’t gonna be the same.

EU brand, manufactured in Asia though.
