Hi I am just about to start looking for my first decent guitar (I currently still play the one I had at school 20 years ago, and it is really aweful - I'm just waiting til the debts get manageable enough to be able to justify the expense, which can't be too high anyway). I have seen a Tanglewood Earth 200 ( I think) which I really liked the sound of, but what I really need is some advice.... Also - I quite fancy the idea of a resonator, but can you do general picky stuff and strumming on them, or are they very specific? I play finger-picky stuff, fairly aggressive strumming, and am just getting into bluesy type of stuff. So the question is really, which horses for which courses - and is there just a general all-round good performer. HELP!!!!! All advice gratefully appreciated.
