Well, looking at guitars one more time, I finally decided on a guitar that looks like it's pretty decent quality for the price.

Martin 000-16GT

That's the guitar that I'm looking at now. I'm getting a job alot sooner than I thought, meaning I can start saving sooner, and probably get it before my senior year. I finally got the idea that if I ended up getting a standard acoustic guitar, then I could use whatever electronics I wanted based on what would work best for it. I've never cared much for pre-amps anyway.

I really think this is a nice guitar for the price. Could anyone possibly give their opinion and maybe throw out an idea or two for electronics. They've got a few electronics on their website I looked at a little, but I'm no expert on them.

first, congrats although im not too big on martin acoustics. I just never really thought they were a great quality, i recommend u try to play this exact one before you buy, some like the martins, im not one of those people anyways just a thought

[annoying_2001]

personally, i think that's a great guitar....although, it'll be cheaper if you buy it outside of martin. like at a dealership or online.

Yeah, right after I saw this guitar I remembered seeing alot of Martin guitars in a shop recently, but couldn't recall whether it was here, or somewhere else. I looked it up, and sure enough, there was a shop about a five minute drive from my house.

I played one very much like that that was used a couple of years ago. I liked it.

if you tried playing and like it then why not...

maybe you could look around for second hand ones? good guitars matures nicely so you'll get a great guitar and you'd save some dollars too. i'd give anything to get my hand on a 1930s/40s Martin hehehee
