What is the best violin under £500 for electric playing or a smaller acoustic instrument?

The G4M Solus Electric Violin at £300 is the pick for electric playing; the Stentor Messina 3/4 at £453 is the acoustic option if that size fits. Neither is a universal winner: choose by playing setup and fit.
For electric playing, consider the G4M Solus Electric Violin in Midnight Ebony. Its listed best new price is £300, leaving room within a £500 budget, but check what is included and what amplification or monitoring you will need before committing.
