The best advice I can give to you, is to think really hard about your musical needs, style, and playing/performing plans, and focus in on buying the instrument that will suit ALL the above AND your hands, ....... rather than just spending some money on a guitar.

TFOA are a good bunch, and I've bought from them twice - sadly purchasing from the EU for a Brit like me is more complicated and expensive!

There is no way that I can recommend a lovely Eastman "parlour" if you are a bluegrass flat picker, or a dreadnought if you play intricate fingerstyle, or a jumbo if you want an OM.

I'd save your money and spend a little time working out what you want/need out of a guitar AND things like nut width, string spacing, scale length, body woods etc.
