I am playing a bottom of the the line Blueridge BR-43. $350.00 plus $ 200.00 worth of Baggs I beam. I am replacing a Martin JC 16 GTE for performance purposes. Great playing guitar. I'd far and away rather trash a PacRim guitar than a Martin on the road. The problem is that the guitar may be inexpensive but it is every bit the Martins equal when it comes to playability and sound and I don't want to trash it either.
