I disagree with the statement that one should never even try out a guitar above their price range. At the store where I bought my D18, they had a D18 GE and a D41 that were both twice the price of my D18 and I asked the salesman if I could play both of them to see what a guitar that nice sounded like.This was after I picked out my D18 and we both knew what that I couldn't buy that guitar, but I got to see what something like that sounds and feels like.
