Good advice... But, what if this is going to be your 2nd guitar?

I have a takamine EG540 SC, which was about 400 - its really awesome - Tak makes some great guitars in that price range.

Saw a DR, or maybe it was DM? for 650 i think. Any experience playing them?
Probably a DM. If it was a new DR for $650 go buy it now, cuz that's a steal. Anyway, I can't remember if I've ever play either in the shop.

I have been playing a Fender DG10CE for a few years now. It sounds pretty good for the money (probably about $250), and it has electronics.

Well, I did it... I went and got the 110GB. It is my second guitar, my first being a Yamaha. However, I must tell you, the tag on the guitar said $529.00, but their computers rang it up at $509. So, anyone interested should act now! :P
