Hi Kevin
What I like might be what you like , I have seen this question asked in heaps of forums . You will get the die hard Seagull fans , Epiphone , Fender and so many more .
I am only a beginner so my advise probably won't mean a real lot to any one but hey I am going to voice it anyway ....
Buy what YOU like what suits your musical needs what YOU desire I want a Gibson just like Mr Clapton , but I can't see the need for it yet as I can not play that well ....
I bought myself a Fener DG series this year , I was told in other forums that this brand and that brand were better , but when I held that little baby in my hands I knew that this was for me ...
I looked at 7 different brands all around the same price , I finger picked a little on everyone of them , I still kept coming back to the Fender so I bought it ....
That is my advise go play them ... The right one for you will tell you , the it sounds they it feels , ( it's almost like falling in love with your partner all over but this one don't give you chores to do
)
