Reviews can be deceiving especially if the revewier is visting the chain stores. At any time, you can find a great playing low end guitar and an awful high end one. The guitars are not properly set up and strings are changed on a whim. I swear they set up the ones they make the most money on. I played a 1500.00 Taylor at GC and it played like crap. Taylor is arguably the best acoustic out there. The set up was so bad and the strings were actually noticable dirty. Point is if I didn't know better I could go on several websites and say Taylor sucks...they don't...not even close.
I understand sometimes you have to buy site unseen. Plan on having a good set up and you'll be fine.

I own a Takamine G Series A/E. Excellent plugged in or unplugged. I've had it for several years and its still my favorite

UGGGHHH.......

I've bought several guitars from Rondo. His service is second to none. If you don't like it return it with no questions asked. No hassle. I own Agile, SX and Valencias. Agile is his premiere brand and the AL series are Les Paul Clones. I have an AL2500 that plays as well as a Gibson and feels much better than any Epiphone Les Paul I've tried. I also have a SX strat copy which feels as good if not better than a Mexi Stratocaster. Cameron's right, excellent stuff. I can't say enough

Firewire seems plenty fast enough for home studio but I also thought my 20 MB hard drive from the 80's would never get filled   I've worked with fiber in other arenas and it can be delicate; not sure if that'll hamper it catching on.

if it's a particular sound from a famous artist you're looking for chabces are they were using either an analog pedal or digital effects. If you're just beginning you may want to search the forum for effects. There's lots of advice.

I played the Mitchell (I think it's Guitar Center's private label) and I thought the Alvarez was head and shoulders above it. Sometimes GC's stuff can be set up poorly or whatever. I also played several others in the under 300.00 price range (but not Tacoma). The Alvarez's action is low and the tone is full. I've played better (like Guild for example) but nothing in this price range.
I know sometimes it's hit or miss with low end acoustics but this one is a hit.

Good luck in your search. I'll stop raving about Alvarez now.

I find myself playing the 12 string more than any other guitar I own.

I have a shitty voice. You do eventually get used to the sound of your own voice. Once that trauma fades, the only advice I would lend (and again I'm awful) is don't try too much stay within your range. Even if your range is limited.

Well Done as always Russell. I have many slides and a round neck resonator. You've inspired me to blow the dust off those tonight and give 'em a go 'round. Thanks for sharing

I own a G series. Fantastic value...check them out.

002013???????? That'd be my guess. How's it sound to your ear?
