Hi

A lot of great advice above....do heed it....or most of it anyway.

One thing most people mentioned was to look for the best sounding guitar that appeals to you.

I find that not only sound is important but it must have an action that suits your playing style. I know that action is easier to improve than sound but if the instrument isn't right when you play it IMHO it doesn't really matter what the sound is like.
