Okay, so I haven't started yet but, I've always wanted to learn, and I want something different to do over the winter, rather than sit at the computer, or watch the tube. My wife has promised to buy me one for my birthday next month. I'm looking for advice on a decent quality acoustic. Something that sounds, and feels good. Something that won't break the bank, yet will allow me to grow with it.

Coincidentally, I'm heading down to Nashville next week (I hear guitars are popular there ) and I'm going to have a look at what's available.

There seem to be a lot of players here, and I'd appreciate any feedback you pickers and strummers can give me.

Cheers.
