So much choice and no idea!

First post here so hi to you all

I have plenty of spare time on my hands now that I have changed my job and I have always wanted to give the guitar a try but never had the luxury of time to practise.
I was give a guitar when I was in my teens but it was a very cheap one with a really high action, which is why I never really give it too much attention.
I want an acoustic which is not too big and loud (will be for home use only)and it must have an easy low action, oh and sound nice.
I have looked at a couple on the net in the £200 budget.
There seems to be a huge choice but obviously I will have to physically see them to be able to judge if they have the low action I require.
The Crafter and Ibanez makes look nice in that price range, I especially like the Ibanez AC 90 NT. (Small size and quality materials)
So I am open to any suggestions from you all because I really have no idea what best suits my requirements.

Doesn't take much. Just a couple 10 hours practice everyday and a high tolerance of pain LOL

I've been lucky to average about 2 hours a day for the last 6-7 months and mine have begun to dance around a bit..actually its getting to be almost as graceful as an elephant in a ballet


You do have a nice rig though...that should be enough inspiration to get you started.

It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
