I can't see much point in this argument. Choosing a guitar is a very personal thing.

have you sold the Yamaha? The L series as I remember makes it a workshop rather than factory job - so it will be pretty damn good.

But yamaha quality control is pretty good. I've nevr had a bad one and I owned for a brief period a real stinker Martin D35 - having said that if I'd had the IQ of slug I'd have had it sorted out by a luthier instead of getting rid of it. silly me.

Does it have a electrics? If so which sort? the electrics on my yamaha working guitar which goes out most days to earn me a few quid have just died. Replacing them is £150 so I am considering my options.
