I started playing 2 years ago with an old Sigma dread that just killed my shoulders. Recently sold it.
Went to guitar center with no knowledge at all and they sold me a Little Martin LXME.
I still have it as a laptop youtube guitar, but it sounds terrible.
Then bought a GS Mini, lovely tone but could not bond with the size and sold it.
Bought a Ibanez AC240 and found my perfect size, but not crazy with the tone.
Next? Stay tuned.
