Forgiven before you even posted it. I'm not a musician, and I know it. I picked up a bass because I played sousaphone in marching band and wanted to mess around with my friends in a little punk band. We played some shows, and we didn't suck. That's all I was looking for.
The reason I started this thread was for some advice, which I got an excellent amount of, and I thank you. I just wasn't very confident when it came to acoustic guitars, since I've never played one. I've played upright bass plenty of times, and had fun with it, but that's an entirely different animal.
So, I thank you! I've got a gift card for a good place here in Madison, and did some shopping around and got to know the sales guys there...who are also the instructors for their starter guitar classes, so they have some idea what they're doing. The owner of the place is a luthier who makes his own lutes for renaissance shows, and the used instruments are all in great condition. So, we'll see where it goes after Christmas.
