Marina guitar question, and strings question ...

[cgalves]

hey all,

I have some questions regarding my acoustic guitar. First of all, it's a Marina Mark 32WR ... has anyone ever heard anything about these guitars?? I did a search on the internet and all I found was ONE page ... ONE stupid page in the billions of and billions of pages ... dandy ... I've bbeen playing electric for a while and only recently picked up an acoustic (my electric is a Les Paul .. 8) )

Here is what my guitar looks like, http://www.jcmusic.com/steelstrinac.html


Can anyone tell me if this is a decent guitar, or if its shit, or any pointers? I've been practicing like crazy for the past couple of months and am considering investing in a new one if this "Marina" isnt up to par.

Which brings me to my next question .. recently, I have found that the two high strings, the B and the High E String, sound HORRIBLE. I dont know what it is, but everytime I play them, I almost cringe. I dont think its the strings, because I recently restringed my guitar and they sounded the same. I am not sure if it is my bridge, but I DID readjust it recently which resulted in a lowered guitar action, but nothing fixed in the way of string sound. I cant even play Crash Into Me (let alone flying horses) because those two damn strings sound so bad. What is going on? ANy advice? Should I switch to medium gauge strings? Can anyone offer me any pointers?

Thanks a bunch fellas
