[HANASHIR:16623] Re: Guitars

[Abby and Michael Gostein <gosteins...>]

Play a bunch and find one that feels right to YOU!  This is going to be your
baby and you need to be comfortable with how it sounds and feels and feel
like it will sing WITH you.  Make sure you try it sitting and standing with
a strap.  Make sure you sing with it and try out different kinds of songs
you play in it.
I happen to have a Taylor and I love it.
