Went and looked at acoustic electrics at lunch today, really liked the Yamaha I played. Liked the Taylor as well, but I don't think I could convince my wife of the price tag that came with it. The Yamaha also felt really nice in my hands. It was a little bright, but nothing that could not be corrected with the EQ and a stiffer pick.
Thinking about getting a low end Behringer amp to practice with since we have professional equipment at the church to plug into.
