This is sound advice, as I went down/going down a similar road. First guitar (almost two years ago) was a slightly damaged Yamaha. Picked it up for $80. Then thought I needed something better and bought a nice Recording King RD06. Well come to find out, that one was very difficult to play even though I thought it sounded great. It just did not fit me, and I didn’t understand the subtle differences between guitars. I then picked up a nice little Big Baby Taylor. Nice little full scale guitar, but still kind of a beginner guitar. My guitar disease continued, and I then picked up a Taylor AD17 thinking I wanted a US made solid wood guitar that I could grow with. What I really wanted was the Taylor 314ce. It was just out of the price range I wanted to spend. Every time I played the AD17, no matter how awesome it is, I still thought about the 314ce. It is a bit smaller than the AD17 and fits me better, and is a bit more versatile. Well, Taylor had a Taylor Days promotion, and I just ordered a 314ce, and get a Mahogany GS Mini for $199. I could have saved so much money if I just got the one I had always wanted anyway. Now I have a Recording King RD06, and a Taylor AD17 I need to part with.
