Time for my predictable rant! (as the Mudcat Lakewoodophile).

Sam, try out the Lakewood range too. Top quality build, good value in the UK at present because of pound exchange rate to Euro(handmade in Germany), great sound. The D-1 and M-1 models start a LOW price and are excellent value as a good starting guitar. They get more expensive as you go up the woods, tonewoods and and options range. If I remember right the D-1 and M-1 (different body shapes corresponding to Dreadnought and 000/0000 respectively) are solid mahogany back and sides with a cedar top. The Acoustic Centre shops (I think there is one in Leeds) and some other good guitar shops stock them.

In fact try ALL the guitars people have suggested until you find the one that says "buy me" to you! That's the best advice I can offer as it's a very personal things as with all instruments.

Good hunting
