I guess the “angst” for me, is this purchase will more than likely be my last for a few reasons. So, yeah I guess I am putting a lot of pressure on myself to chose wisely the first time. I know there are some who change guitars like they change their underwear, but thats not me. Ive had my Takamine 12 string since I started playing at 15 and my Gretsch Country Gentleman since My Dad bought it for me at 16. Ive never sold a guitar... they become a part of my family.ha! So yeah I really want to make the right decision. More “hands on” research will be required. I have ordered my Larrivee OM-40R online sight unseen and that worked out great. For some reason I had a lot of faith in Jean Larrivee and his workmanship and I wasnt disappointed. But I did alot of research on that one as well. Just the painstaking agonizing I always do to make sure Ive done my due dilegence before I spend my hard earned money. I will check out that sound clip you mentioned. Thanks for letting me know about that!
My approach and feeling about is much the same as yours.
