On a side note, I got a Blackwood GS Mini lined up for purchase. Would a HV Mini be a nice balance in between the Blackwood and Mahogany or is it too close to the Blackwood. Or based on everyone's feedback with the HV model, should I skip purchasing the other 2 and just go with the HV mini?

For my OM/OOO purchase, I still am on the fence and just cant make up my mind. I stopped by guitar center again last night and just didnt connect with any of the guitars (Martin, Taylor, Yamaha). I actually connected most with one of the Seagull Entourage S6's. May go back today to look at an Ibanez AC240. Thanking I needed electronics, I may look for a non-electrified one and put in a k&k pickup. Or just wait and hold out for a craigslist deal. It is sad, but my Washburn D10 with a planet waves o-ring in it still sounds amazing compared to everything else and all laminate. Guess I could buy a markley type pickup to go in that and take the o-ring out, if not. Just the D10 is a little big for me now.

Yes, understood and that is my problem. Always selling and buying and have lost out on alot of good guitars. Surgery was my only valid sell as needed the money. I can also get a Blueridge 343ce today for about $600 and have enough gift cards to get it for free. Would anybody jump on that?

I don't like all the gospel "bling" but its a fine guitar with excellent electronics. That is a great price too.

Thank you FloridaGull. Just jumped on it. I still may meet a guy for a used br 343ce for 400. Figure with spruce top and with similar electronics they would compliment each other well and offer 2 different sounds. Now I'll just keep an eye out for any other good deals but this could be best deal of my life as had discover points and amazon cards to use so got it for under 200 after tax and shipping. Any particular beater guitar I may want to consider to compliment them?

Honestly - get to know the 2 you'll soon have, determine what you like/love - or dislike/despise - about each, and choose your 3rd based on further experimentation...

Blueridge all the way. I have owned many brand including Seagull, RK, Eastman, Blueridge. In your price range, Blueridge is the winner.
