I'm looking to spend in the $750-$1000 range.

Are we assuming these prices can be talked down at a guitar shop, because both these guitars are over $1,000.

You can get a Larrivee D-03R at most shops for probably under 950 and they won't be listed as high as the websites to start with. There is some sort of percentage rule to go by but I can't think of it off the top of my head. Someone here can I'm sure...

go with an alvarez or taylor, in my opinion. Of course it's whatever sounds and looks best to you.

and if you can get the guitar without electronics so you can get the price to go down some, you can always put them in later.

try to also look for solid tops/sides/all solid construction... i know that can get pricey but at least get a solid top if the rest of it isnt solid.

the 750-1000 range should definately get you solid top and sides/back. You can get a really nice alvarez in that price i know and their are awesome awesome taylors i played in that range too.

don't forget to bargain a little. i got 100 bucks taken off my guitar i just bought just by talkin' with the guy.

Laravee has some good stuff. But if you get a good guitar, you had better not let anyone play it! Given your history...

if you are going to spend a grand, you're going to feel stupid buying a composite when you can get solid wood for a relative small fraction more (maybe couple more hundred).
