expression
Le texte est un texte sur des instruments de musique.
This is the way they used to make them....tough, cool, and enough tone and twang to bring the house down. The FR-48 gives you the classic metal resonator tune without breaking the bank. The FR-48 features a chromed steel body, rosewood fingerboard, 25´´-scale length, and custom Fender f-holes.

sans se ruiner
break the bank:
Fig. to use up all one's money. (Alludes to casino gambling, in the rare event when a gambler wins more money than the house has on hand.) It will hardly break the bank if we go out to dinner just once. Buying a new dress at a discount price won't break the bank.

Since there's no equivalent expression in French, a simple answer could work just as well!
