thanks for the links guys, but what guitar? I'm so out of date. I played an Ovation years back and loved it. I was looking at a Elite model, but there's an AX, LX and a boat load of models I don't know anything about. Then I hear that Ovation was soooo yesterdays news, and stick with Taylor or Takamine. I really don't want this to go over a grand, and I'm not in an area where I can just go play these to find what I like. There's nothing here but cheap Yamaha's and Epiphone and Squires etc.
