Easier to fret acoustic/electric?

Hi all,

I'm looking for another acoustic in addition to my Taylor 710 for live use.

Maybe a thin-line acoustic something that I can still hear for song ideas and whatnot unplugged but easier to fret strings for live use, i.e. ultralight's.

Any ideas would be appreciated...Oh and a T5 is a little to thin.

-Thx

Washburn do some stage guitars (Festival Series) - not great tone unplugged but should get you what you're looking for.

This is where your trouble begins. An easy to fret guitar is any guitar that has a good setup, which you're not going to get at a Guitar Center or Sam Ash.

Find a local mom and pop store. Not only will you be supporting a much more deserving business, but they'll almost always set it up well for free (even on the spot, sometimes). A good set-up makes a world of difference with playability.
