Ive got a very nice cutaway electro-acoustic that I bought to thrash, and not bother if it fell over, and leave in the sunny conservatory -its similar to the yamaha apxs in looks. Its got a wonderful neck and only moderate electrics- but hey I find I play it most days as opposed to my expensive guitars. If you find a good one grab it, I'm sure there are plenty of rough ones, but that appplies to most guitars, yes its a bit embarrassing to get one out in a club, but I remember years ago when a worker in a music shop came along to the club with his new Martin, and knowing me was astonished that I'd brought a Crafter, insisted on playing it and said he was stunned by it and thought I was very lucky to have found it. Ignore the critics and those who like to flout brands, every home could have one.
