Fernando,

Here is my recommendation for buying an acoustic guitar (or any, for that matter): buy it for the tone. Find one that has a sound that you like. Don't worry about how it really feels when you play it, or the response of the strings, fret buzzing, etc. Those are all things that a session with a professional luthier can fix (and it will be money well-spent).

Let the luthier see how you play and they'll make adjustments to the guitar's neck, frets, strings, etc. so that it will work with you and you won't have to fight it.

Oh, and Ty, Washburn makes some guitars that have XLR outputs, as does Taylor and Macpherson. If anyone is looking for a simple, passive DI, check out this one - no unnecessary buttons and it's a nice size. Plus, the Jensen transformer is nice and imparts no color to the signal. For active, I prefer Countryman, Radial, and Whirlwind.

Wolf
