Thanks for the feedback Gentlemen.

Oren if I could bust my budget your suggestion would be the way I go but that is a little too much of a stretch.

Sinbad I could not follow those links, but will try again later.

Dennis and all what I have been giving serious consideration to is an Alvarez student guitar the RC210C. It sells locally for 339.00 and is currently discountinued from the Alvarez line. Nice Rosewood sides and fretboard with a narrow neck. I am also looking at a Takamine (not sure I spelled it correctly) for around 400.00. I'll keep you posted as the quest continues.

Thanks again Gents for your help.

Later,
