Advice on electro acoustics:

Many good makes out there, Fender, Tanglewood, Ovation, Gibson.

But as everyone says you really must go and play the guitar, it could be a £2000 but it may not feel right for you. You really need to be comfortable at playing it.

I have a steel stringed acoustic guitar, made by a company called freshman, Brand new it cost me £100. The tension on the strings is immense, its like playing a gibson les paul electric. But I love it, its a nice strummy guitar, I dont play lead so I dont need to bend the strings much, I stick with nice simple open and barre chords.

£250 includiong a hard case is not a bad price and I would consider it. The hard cases can be as much as the guitars themselves sometimes.

First things first try playing the guitar if you can. Make sure your comfortable with it, you may find it too bulky. Then make your mind up.

I have several guitars:

BC Rich Warlock NJ series (as used by Sepultura)
Wesley Electric (bought on Ebay for £130 brand new and one of the nicest guitars I have ever played)
I have strat copy that I use for messing around with aetups and string guages, I also practice wiring pickup in it, its not even decent squire copy, its really cheap and only has a 3 way toggle switch, but when I dropped 2 seymour duncs in there.....WOW. (mind you the duncs cost more than the guitar did lol)
