@mark-cronenwettpm-me not sure what is going on here. Is it that the chord changes take that long? If so then you can train yourself to “automatically” make the chord without thought. This isn’t an instantaneous thing though, it will take time. My chord changes were also very slow when I started but now that I’ve been playing daily for nearly 2 years they are coming faster. There is still a lot of room for growth but I have come a long way.
Is there a reason that you suspect the guitar might be handicapping you? I’m not going to advise you to spend money that you might regret later. Maybe your guitar needs to be setup? I don’t have enough information to know what’s best.
