Hmm, I've been looking around the web (still in the process of it actually) at some of the guitars that you recommended. The Masterbuilt is pretty interesting. It's not bad looking either. I haven't gotten to the searching for Chinese guitars and used guitars yet. I would like one that's acoustic/electric though...

    Our music store sells Alvarez, Talkamine, Fender...and I think maybe a couple more, but I wasn't really impressed by any of them except the Fusion Alvarez, but I wanted more bass from it...still it felt really awesome to play with the thin neck and slimmer body. I absolutely hate the thickness of the neck on my Rogue, really restricts my playing.
