I've played this in a shop and I love it, I have an EJ 200 which is like this but without the cutaway or electroness? :hihi:

Try and find one in a shop and give it a play

I agree with Izzy.  Those cut-away jumbos are great guitars. : ok:

A friend of mine told the action was amazing on those Guild Guitars!

Its my first acoustic so I just want something nice as an alternative to my electric, for those nights beside the campfire!!

I recommend the Epiphone too. However u should also look at some Takamine models. They have their own custom pickup technology for electro-acoustics and some very decent models in that price range.

I live in Cork and the music shops here will order stuff in from England for you if they deal with that brand. I've been in Dublin a few times and I remember there being alot of music shops, there was one that only sold Ibanez guitars so they'd probably have the Ibanez one

Try asking a shop that deals Epiphones or Gibsons to buy one in, or you could try online

Also if it's you first acoustic are you sure you need it to be electro-acoustic, you's save alot of money if you buy a regular acoustic?

I want something that I can plug in, plus I want to record with it directly to my computer..

I see Waltons music shop has them but they're not in stock. You can order online with them now too.

What was the name o the shop that sold the Ibanez guitars? Ive been looking for an Ibanez RG also!

The shop called me and said it would be around 6 months before they get them in stock! Nightmare!

Does anyone know the best place to buy these online?
