Another plug for Takamine! also, only get a guitar with electronics if you know you'll be using them!! that money would be better spent on getting a higher end guitar if you don't need to plug in!

The 110 that I played sounded great...

Same here.

But If you want electronics, Go with a Tak/Alvarez/Seagull ( I only say that because I have one... and It's great!)

I think I'm the other person who ever reccomends them..

I own a few Alvarez guitars and a Takamine. I'm in love with all my guitars. Except the Ibanez AW100. It's beautiful, but it sounds like my butt.

Actually, I picked up an Alvarex RD8BR that sounds pretty good for the price. I basically bought it to leave at my girls house when I visit her. Kinda of a back up guitar that I could leave.

My Tak is a EG334SC. Pretty good stuff for a $600 guitar. I'm having trouble deciding what my new high end will be for a wedding present.
Probably the old reliable D-28.

In conclusion, Taks or Alvarez for the price. You may want to check out that Alvarez that's made of Dao. The AD60K or something along those lines. Sweet looking, and I bet it sings.

Alvarez are the pimpness.
