Exactly what I was looking for, a "beginner" guitar that I can have and use for a loooong time! I'll have to head down to the local shop and see if they have that particular guitar, and see if maybe I can try it out during a lesson. You hit the price range dead on, I figure I can spend anywhere from $400-700 on the guitar and another $300 or so for the amp and extras.

I believe I still have that exact KORG tuner laying around somewhere with my acoustic. My mom actually started to teach me lessons on the acoustic...but she's more the "Michael row your boat ashore..." type and could only teach me a few cords, so the acoustic got tiresome quickly, but I figure I should be able to appreciate both after a few more lessons.

Thanks bro, I'll let you know if I have any other questions.
