Depends what you buy and what you play, if your into Gordon Giltrap sort of playing, then YES, I would recommend one, An Ovation, or a Fylde, or if Money allows, an Armstrong or a Roger Williams. There is absolutely NO loss of sound or tone in ANY of these Guitars and the upper Frets are a doddle to reach with them!(Especially with the NEW 'Spanking' Roger Williams one!)cdshuk@yahoo.co.uk
