Which Guitar is Better?

I leave guitar set-up to a professional guitar tech. I'm sure they could do better setting up your cheap guitar. I had a similar issue with an entry level big bowl Ovation (one of the reasons I know to avoid their entry level guitars as I made a newbie error in judgement as a beginner) years ago when i first ventured into guitar playing. My hands and fingers always got tired real fast because the action was too high. I took it in and had it set up. Then, it played much more easily and got more use. I've still got that guitar as a matter of fact. I consider it a piece of junk so it just collects dust. I've also got an older Jackson Dinky XL collecting dust. My main axes now are my Breedlove acoustic-electric and my PRS Custom 24. The Breedlove was set up pretty well out of the box. However, it could still use some tweaking. If it is one thing I hate, then it is deciding on the right guitar to buy for myself. There is one guitar I am sure I want...it is the David Gilmour Signature Fender NOS. It's only $3999.

i went to southpaw guitars today. wow what a selection of guitars! one side of the store was all electric, the other side acoustic.

guy was telling me how Martin guitars are a lil harder to play as playability is not their #1 thing, compared to Taylor.

i didn't buy anything today. I ma take my cheap alvarez up there and let them look at it first.

even if you need right handed guitars, it's a good place to go. owner and the other guy were real nice.

Another good place to go, if you haven't already been, is Fullers Vintage Guitar up on Yale @ 610. And while you're looking at acoustics, check out those made by Guild as well. They make some very, very nice guitars.

Gotta love a pignose.

Lots of fun to play.

Plus easier on the back and easier to play seated!
