So, traded in my beginner acoustic for a better quality Faith parlour which I thought would be easier to hold and play, and it is. A full size Sigma  acoustic and now a Sigma classical which I reach for the most often . For the electric I have settled on an Epiphone Les Paul . I need way more experience before I can buy another guitar knowing it to be a step up in quality and would improve my range of music.


So n+1, if it draws you to it  why resist .

They are hard to resist Dave, and like you, I think I have that itch scratched for a long time to come. Part of this comes from a music teacher I am working with right now who suggested I should stay with one guitar while we are working on things. I think he is right in this, and this guitar just feels right in my hands. 


thanks for the reply!


This year the diet is definitely gonna stick!
