Re: MONTANA
With most any guitar, there will be wild variations in tone due to the fact that these things are made out of a natural material. I've played $100 guitars (Mitchell, Yamaha, Jasmine by Takamine) that sounded like pianos. That said I recently played a $2500 Martin HD-28 that sounded like a cigar box with rubber bands on it. Dull, lifeless, wouldn't have given you $50 bucks for it. (Sorry Marty fans, it's so.) The point is, you have to ask yourself what you want in a guitar and "inspect your expects", or rather do your homework and play as many as you can. Like everything else with guitar, I think it takes a few years of playing to even know what you like about the sound of certain guitars. But that's the fun part, isn't it? If I was you, I wouldn't get in a hurry. I'd just go out and play as many as possible, talk to knowlegeble salespeople, and even ask them to play them for you. Above all don't settle for something you haven't fallen in love with. That guitar you buy is going to be with you through thick and thin. Mine have.
Good Luck,

Welcome Aboard Rubbersole (Brad)!
All good advise there, myself I've many times said the same, Brand, price point and point of origin don't make as much difference when you let your ears and hands judge the instrument. When you find the one that sings to you..... that's the one you take home.
Take Care and again "Welcome to Chordie"!

+1 Sound advice and words to live by. Play it without looking at the headstock. If it feels good to you then it is good for you
