I agree, it's best if you just poke around at different models. Spend a couple hours at the biggest music center in your area and narrow it down.
If you want to try out a graphite one, however, I hear the Rainsong JM3000 is quite a model. I've never personally played one, but have heard that they have a very filling, very vibrant sound. Looks pretty too. |
my favorite color is go fuck yourself. :D |

Rainsong Guitars are fuckall expensive tho. I once played the Rain Song on one, but I got bitched out for tuning it all bugged out at the store. (DGCGCD) Nice tone. |

I have a yamaha cutaway 12 string with electronics and it sounds pretty sweet...yamaha makes nice 12's, only problem is the action. Your fingers will ache like hell if u try to play easy stuff on the yamaha's...to try and fingerpick a really stretched out chord is impossible (and i have big hands lol)...so make sure to check out the action on all 12's u play...yamaha with the action fixed is a amazing for the price. |
