Thanks for really helpful responses. Im in Australia and i think because of taxes etc, we pay heaps more for new guitars than U.S.
I think fender and ibanez bring out guitar /amp packages that may be worth a try.
One thing i'll definately be getting is a hardcase. Nothing worse than sittin on a plane watchin the baggage guys throw ur guitar around like a football.
G,day to all.

Hi, Gotta really old Yamaha FG-410, acoustic, bit tinny and bashed around. Can't afford a Maton,Taylor etc. Any advice on a mid range acoustic. Love the sort of tone Keith Urban gets.
Cheers

great job.
