I'm going to buy my dad a good guitar for his birthday. I've narrowed my search to 414CE-LTD and GS series. 414 with rosewood upgrade was a favorite (I like it's simple appearance, never liked abalone) until I've read some excellent reviews on GS guitars.
The problem is, living in Russia I don't have any opportunity to listen to any of these guitars personally
. So it's definitely gonna be a blind purchase...
I'm pretty sure my father being just a hobbyist will like any of the mentioned guitars
, but nevertheless can anyone suggest the best variant for fingerpicking accompaniment to singing? If GS is better, then which one (5/6/7/8)?
Thanks in advance.
